Suite Franaise (Irne Nmirovsky)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Suite franaise is the title of a planned sequence of five novels by Irne Nmirovsky, a French writer of Ukrainian Jewish origin. In July 1942, having just completed the first two of the series, Nmirovsky was arrested as a Jew and detained at Pithiviers and then Auschwitz, where she allegedly died of typhus, but was actually sent to the gas chambers by the Nazi regime. The notebook containing the two novels was preserved by her daughters but not examined until 1998. They were published in a single volume entitled Suite franaise in 2004.
