Suite Française became a bestseller for Irène Némirovsky when it was published for the first time more than 50 years after her death. You can imagine, then, that publishers were thrilled to discover another previously unknown work by Némirovsky--Fire in the Blood. Fire in the Blood depicts a French village, much like the village described in "Dolce," the second part of Suite Française. Unlike Suite Française, Fire in the Blood has no hint of war and is a complete work, making it a more satisfying, if less poignant, story.
