Publisher's Summary
In June 1940 France fell to the Nazis. The effects of this momentous event on the lives of ordinary Parisians and the inhabitants of a small rural community under occupation are brilliantly explored in Irène Némirovsky’s gripping and heart-breaking novel. Némirovsky herself was a tragic victim of the Nazi regime but she left behind her this exceptional masterpiece. In Suite Française she conjures up a vivid cast of wonderful characters who find themselves thrown together in ways they never expected. Amidst the mess of defeat, and all the hypocrisy and compromise, there is hope. True nobility and love exist, but often in surprising places.

Devastating, wry observation on human nature
Read it to understand the frailties but positives of human nature and love and what people do to survive.

Interesting story
I wanted to hear this book before seeing the movie. While I enjoyed the tale I was puzzled why the narrator chose to do the whole thing with a British accent sometimes even slipping into a Yorkshire accent to create the voices of the "common folk", yet added a German accent for the German military! The whole thing lost atmosphere with the lack of a good French accent.
The end was a fizzed for me.
