David Golder by Irène Némirovsky
3.0
David Golder is about a wealthy man, a poor poor wealthy man. His ungrateful daughter always screeches for money and Golder, blinded by his love for his her, always allows her to take some. His wife also takes her turn to annoy him and request money but he doesn't give in so easily to her.
The grumply old David Golder reminded me of Ebenezer Scrooge from the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. Indeed the book was filled with as much life as Dickens' book if not more. David Golder was a quick and easy read and I can't wait to read Némirovsky's Suite Française.
