A review by bluestarfish
Fire in the Blood by Irène Némirovsky

4.0

A drowning in an insular French village opens up a can of worms in an "idyllic" village and an "idyllic" marriage. This very short novel, narrated by Silvio, seems to be the answer to the previously jotted down ideas by Nemirovsky of the purity of the parents who were guilty when they were young.
