A review by baklavopita
Fire in the Blood by Irène Némirovsky

5.0

Wow! You can't judge a book by its cover. The cover looks so cheesey, like it's a dippy tame romance. It is a powerful story and a apt illustration of the "fire in the blood" that runs through and controls the lives of the young. In fact, that point is made a little too clearly, a little too often. It reminded me of Ethan Frome in a way.
