Irène Némirovsky needs just 96 pages to stir our souls. This gem was written by Irène when she was just 27 years old and established her as one of the great rising stars of interwar European literature. Endowed with a keen psychological insight, Némirovsky condenses into a short space a story in which a difficult mother-daughter relationship and the craving for social recognition merge with a passion for life and the pursuit of happiness. An essential work that offers a unique perspective on human vanity and its many defeats, pride, the loss of family ties, and the revelation that precedes the almost liturgical drama of the story’s conclusion.
