-- Storm in June2015., Adult, Arsenal Pulp Press Call No: GN Fic Moy Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Suite Française, an extraordinary novel about village life in France just as it was plunged into chaos with the German invasion of 1940, was a publishing sensation ten years ago; Irene Nemirovsky completed the two-volume book, part of a planned larger series, in the early 1940s before she was arrested in France and eventually sent to Auschwitz, where she died. The notebook containing the novels was preserved by her daughters but not examined until 1998; it was finally published in France in 2004 and became an international bestseller. This graphic novel, translated from the French and faithful to the spirit of Nemirovsky's story, focuses on Book 1, entitled 'Storm in June,' in which a disparate group of Paris citizens flees the city ahead of the advancing German troops. However, their orderly plans to escape are eclipsed by the chaos spreading across the country, and their sense of civility and well-being is replaced by a raw desire to survive."--From publisher.
