Welcome to Litsy!

rene Nemirovsky is becoming one of my favourite authors. This is the third novel that I have read written by her and it did not disappoint. The writing is lyrical once again and it develops slowly into what becomes a compelling read. It is evocative and thought-provoking. What we may think of idyllic, might not be what it seems behind closed doors. A great, quick read! #fireintheood#irenenemirovsky#bookrecommendation#biblioplhile

Wasn't she lovely? I feel like displaying her like this on my desk, which already pays homage to Paris. #bookmail

Started reading this over lunch, thought it would be a good way to try this author out, without the committment involved in starting the quite long Suite Française. Do you like reading novellas? They can be a good way to quickly see if you like a writer's style. #literaryfiction #irenenemirovsky #novella #translated
