Fire in the Blood by Irène Némirovsky

5.0

A very dreamy little bit that flew by. It reminds me of "The Origins of the World", another dreamy short French bit. I really liked the narrator and his somewhat short-tempered opinions of youth and other people's messes. The story itself is completely predictable, but the way it's told is lovely.

I gave this to Mary as a birthday gift, and she gave it back to me to read, which, although I don't know if it was premeditated, was perfect timing on her part.
