Items related to All Our Worldly Goods
All Our Worldly Goods reads like a prequel to Suite Francaise, but is a perfect novel in its own right. In haunting ways, this compelling novel prefigures Suite Francaise and some of the themes of Nemirovsky's great unfinished sequence of novels. All Our Worldly Goods, though, is complete, and exquisitely so -- a perfect novel in its own right. First published in France in 1947, after the author's death, it is a gripping story of family life and star-crossed lovers, set in France between 1910 and 1940. Pierre and Agnes marry for love against the wishes of his parents and the family patriarch, the tyrannical industrialist Julien Hardelot, provoking a family feud which cascades down the generations. This is Balzac or The Forsyte Saga on a smaller, more intimate scale, the bourgeoisie observed close-up, with Nemirovsky's characteristically sly humour and clear-eyed compassion. Full of drama and heartbreak, and telling observations of the devastating effects of two wars on a small town and an industrial family, Nemirovsky is at the height of her powers. Taut, evocative and beautifully paced, the novel points out with heartbreaking detail and clarity how close those two wars were, how history repeated itself, tragically and shockingly. The story opens in the Edwardian era, on a fashionable Normandy beach and ends with a changed world under Nazi occupation.

Review:
`Its story affords superb scope for Nemirovsky's gripping narrative skills, empathy with a wide range of characters...and ironic comedy'
Review:
`It is a resolutely optimistic story, at once sensual, sentimental and spiritual'

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In haunting ways this wonderful, compelling novel prefigures Suite Fran aise and some of the themes of Nemirovksy s great unfinished sequence of novels. All Our Worldly Goods, though, is complete, and exquisitely so a perfect novel in its own right. First published in France in 1947, after the author s death, it is a gripping story of family life and starcrossed lovers, of money and greed, set against the backdrop of France from 1910 to 1940 between two terrible wars. Pierre and Agn s marry for love against the wishes of his parents and the family patriarch, the tyrannical industrialist Julien Hardelot, provoking a family feud which cascades down the generations. This is Balzac or THE FORSYTE SAGA on a smaller, more intimate scale, the bourgeoisie observed close-up with Nemirovksy s characteristically sly humour and clear-eyed compassion. Full of drama and heartbreak, a telling observation of the devastating effects of two wars on a small town and an industrial family, this is Nemirovksy at the height of her powers. The exodus and flow of refugee humanity through the town in both wars foreshadows Suite Fran aise, but differently, because this is Northern France, near the Somme. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001287673
