| Notes: | The dramatic discovery and publication of Suite Française, a manuscript her two daughters had carried around with them unaware of its value, made Irène Némirovsky famous worldwide and a great writer cut down in her prime by the Nazis. Since then, almost her novels have been made available to British readers. The latest, Dogs and Wolves, tells the poignant story of a young woman moving from Kiev to Paris and shows the contrast between the shtetl environment and the privileged life led by rich Jews.
Némirovsky’s biographer, Olivier Philipponnat, talks about the discoveries he made during his research and brings her life and work together. He is joined by her daughter, Denise Epstein, and her translator, Sandra Smith.
