Review:
Praise for The Wine of Solitude "A precocity and acuity of perception shine through."
--The New Yorker
"Wonderfully atmospheric . . . . Némirovsky evokes the places of her childhood with a sensuous clarity that shows how much she learned from Tolstoy and Proust. . . . A captivating and searingly honest portrait of the artist as a young woman."
--The Guardian (London) "Strangely haunting . . . . Profound, exquisitely wrought. . . . A pitch-perfect evocation of adult duplicity."
--The Independent (London) "Fiercely brave. . . . [Here is] the birth of a writer, shaped by war and revolution, told with the devastating cynicism of a young woman in a corrupt and greedy social world, where mothers openly flaunt their lovers and children are humored and ignored. . . . The characters are multidimensional."
--Shelf Awareness "Breathtaking. . . . Némirovsky's powers of social observation, [her] implacable eye for the nuances of human conduct . . . make The Wine of Solitude so memorable."
--The Financial Times Praise for Irène Némirovsky: "Extraordinary. . . . Némirovsky achieve[s] her penetrating insights with Flaubertian objectivity."
--The Washington Post Book World "Stunning. . . . [Némirovsky] wrote, for all to read at last, some of the greatest, most humane and inclusive fiction that conflict has produced."
--The New York Times Book Review "Némirovsky's scope is like that of Tolstoy: She sees the fullness of humanity and its tenuous arrangements and manages to put them together with a tone that is affectionate, patient, and relentlessly honest."
--O: The Oprah Magazine
