Story behind publication of Suite Francaise as moving as the novel itself Ir�ne N�mirovsky was a successful novelist living in France at the beginning of World War II. She was also a Jew. In 1942, she was sent to Auschwitz, where she later died. Now, sixty-four years later, and in April�Holocaust Remembrance Month�the novel she left behind is finally being published in the U.S. Suite Fran�aise is Ir�ne N�mirovsky's masterful novel of life under Nazi occupation in France. Already a bestseller in England and France, it is, in the words of The Independent, �no gloomy elegy but a scintillating panorama of a people in crisis�witty, satirical, romantic, . . . and gorgeously lyrical by turns.� The manuscript for Suite Fran�aise was preserved by N�mirovsky's young daughters, who took it with them when they went into hiding after the arrest of their parents. Thinking it was their mother's journal, they could not bring themselves to read it. Only decades later, as they prepared to place it with an organization dedicated to documenting memories of the war, did they discover what they truly held. The audio edition of Suite Fran�aise is narrated by Dan Oreskes (�Part One: Storm in June�) and Barbara Rosenblat (�Part Two: Dolce�). Mr. Oreskes is a featured voice on PBS�s Nature. He is also heard weekly narrating the successful crime series Cold Case Files on AandE. He recently narrated the audio edition of the Prix Goncourt winner The House of Scorta. Ms. Rosenblat has won numerous awards and recognition for her work as an audiobook narrator. She was named a �Voice of the 20th Century� by AudioFile magazine.
