Storm in June -- Dolce -- Iréne Némirovsky's handwritten notes on the situation in France and her plans for Suite Francaise, taken from her notebooks -- Correspondence 1936-1945 -- Preface to the French Edition

Beginning in Paris on the eve of the Nazi occupation in 1940, this books tells the remarkable story of men and women thrown together in circumstances beyond their control. As Parisians flee the city, human folly surfaces in every imaginable way; a wealthy mother searches for sweets in a town without food, a couple is terrified at the thought of losing their jobs, even as their world begins to fall apart. Moving on to a provincial village now occupied by German soldiers, the locals must learn to coexist with the enemy -- in their town, their homes, even in their hearts. -- Back Cover
