Fire in the Blood by Irène Némirovsky
4.0
“Who would bother sowing his fields, if he knew in advance what the harvest would bring?”
The harvest would bring horror for Némirovsky, which makes her fiery writing all the more poignant. This book was only (somewhat) recently published because Némirovsky was murdered in Auschwitz before she could complete it. Her writing is stylistically unique with ideas that transcend time and nationality. Her characters are human. Their conditions, mortal. A life stolen, a soul inimitable.
