""An old man looks back on a chequered life with secret regrets, concealing a truth he will not reveal until the end. Fire in the Blood is a small and beautiful chamber piece which starts quietly, lyrically, but then races away with revelations and narrative twists in a story about young women forced into marriages with old men, about mothers and daughters, stepmothers and stepdaughters, youthful passions and the regrets of old age, about peasant communities and the way they hide their secrets. Némirovsky looks at her characters, both young and old, with the same clear-eyed distance and humanity as she displayed in Suite Française, unpeeling layer after layer. Atmospheric and haunting as Embers and with the crystalline perfection of Chekhov, Fire in the Blood is a gripping literary find.. "--publisher's website."
"New York Times Bestselling Author. From the author of the universally acclaimed Suite Franaise: a newly discovered novel, never before published - a story teeming with the life of a small French village in the years before World War II. At the center is Silvio, a man getting on in years, enjoying his wine and his solitude. But a visit from a cousin begins to draw Silvio back into the life of his family and the village, and toward the revelation of long-guarded secrets. "Yes, another treat from the author of Suite Francaise."--Library Journal."
"A morality tale with doubtful morals, a story of murder, love and betrayal in rural France, Fire in the Blood, planned in 1937, written in 1941, is set in a small village, based on Issy-l'Eveque where Suite Francaise was written, and brilliantly prefigures the village community in her later masterpiece. An old man looks back on a chequered life with secret regrets, concealing a truth he will not reveal until the end. Fire in the Blood races away with revelations and narrative twists in a story about young women forced into marriages with old men, about mothers and daughters, stepmothers and stepdaughters, youthful passions and the regrets of old age, about peasant communities and the way they hide their secrets."
"Het manuscript van Hitte van het bloed, geschreven in 1941, werd door Irène Némirovsky ondergebracht bij familie en vrienden voordat zij werd gedeporteerd naar Auschwitz. Het boek verhaalt over een Frans dorpje in de jaren voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog, toen vrede nog meer betrekking had op het persoonlijke leven dan op de politieke situatie. Een prachtig verhaal over het ongecompliceerde geluk. Centraal in het verhaal staat Silvio, die in zijn jonge jaren uit verveling zijn geboortedorp ontvluchtte en grootse reizen heeft gemaakt. Bij terugkeer in het dorp wordt hij weer geconfronteerd met het dorpse leven, de liefde en ontrouw, schandalen, jeugdzonden en spijt van de dorpelingen. Langzaam wordt hem duidelijk dat hij onlosmakelijk verbonden is met zijn verleden. Deze krachtige, gepassioneerde roman is een waardige opvolger van de bestseller Storm in juni.

As his narration unfolds, we are given an intimate picture of the loves and infidelities, the scandals, the youthful ardor and regrets of age that tie Silvio to the long-guarded secrets of the past.From the Trade Paperback edition."@en
"Vom Feuer der Liebe, die alle Regeln bricht Ein kleiner Ort im Herzen der französischen Provinz in den Jahren nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Hier führen Colette und ihr um viele Jahre älterer Ehemann ein stilles, zurückgezogenes Leben. Für das grosse Glück und die Leidenschaft ist kein Platz. Das Miteinander in der dörflichen Gemeinschaft ist bestimmt vom Schweigen und von Anspielungen, von verdeckter Feindschaft und duldsamer Genügsamkeit. Und doch brodeln unter der Oberfläche ungeahnte Gefühle. Irène Némirovsky wurde 1903 als Tochter eines reichen russischen Bankiers in Kiew geboren und kam während der Oktoberrevolution nach Paris. Dort studierte sie französische Literatur an der Sorbonne. Irène heiratete den weissrussischen Bankier Michel Epstein, bekam zwei Töchter und veröffentlichte ihren Roman 'David Golder', der sie schlagartig zum Star der Pariser Literaturszene machte. Viele weitere Veröffentlichungen folgten. Als der Zweite Weltkrieg ausbrach und die Deutschen auf Paris zu marschierten, floh sie mit ihrem Mann und den Töchtern in die Provinz. Während der deutschen Besetzung erhielt sie als Jüdin Veröffentlichungsverbot. In dieser Zeit arbeitete sie an einem grossen Roman über die Okkupation. Am 13. Juli 1942 wurde Irène Némirovsky verhaftet und starb wenige Wochen später in Auschwitz. 2005 entzifferte Némirovskys Tochter Denise Epstein das Manuskript, das als 'Suite française' veröffentlicht und zur literarischen Sensation wurde."
