It never occurred to me to look into other books of hers, but I think I will. <br /><br />I found her writing (in Suite Francais) to be very well done, so I don't feel like the books are just popular because of the "dramatic" circumstances. If things had gone different/better then she would like still have received acclaim.Sweet Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636443574868229467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-89533050353023700952009-07-15T08:55:47.771-07:002009-07-15T08:55:47.771-07:00I recently saw your post about reading Irène Némir...I recently saw your post about reading Irène Némirovsky's Fire In the Blood. I wanted to pass along some information about an exciting exhibition closing August 30 about Némirovsky's life, work, and legacy. I urge you to see Woman of Letters: Irène Némirovsky and Suite Française, at the Museum of Jewish Heritage —A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York City. The exhibition includes powerful rare artifacts —including the valise in which the original manuscript for Suite Française was found, as well as many personal papers and family photos. The majority of these documents and artifacts have never been outside of France. For fans of her work, this exhibition is an opportunity to really “get to know” Irene. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this beloved writer! And for those who can’t visit, there is a special website devoted to her story www.mjhnyc.org/irene.<br /><br />Although we are in the lazy days of summer, book clubs and groups are invited to the Museum for tours and discussions in the exhibition’s adjacent Salon (by appointment). It is the Museum’s hope that the exhibit will engage visitors and promote dialogue about this extraordinary writer and the complex time in which she lived and died. To book a group tour, please contact Chris Lopez at 646.437.4304 or clopez@mjhnyc.org. Please visit our website at www.mjhnyc.org for up-to-date information about upcoming public programs or to join our e-bulletin list. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this info with your readers.
