β¦ Synopsis
In haunting ways, this gorgeous novel prefigures Irene Nemirovsky's masterpiece Suite Fran Γ§aise. Set in France between 1910 and 1940 and first published in France in 1947, five years after the author's death, All Our Worldly Goods is a gripping story of war, family life and star-crossed lovers. Pierre and Agnes marry for love against the wishes of his parents and his grandfather, the tyrannical family patriarch. Their marriage provokes a family feud that cascades down the generations. This brilliant novel is full of drama, heartbreak, and the telling observations that have made Nemirovsky's work so beloved and admired.
