Fire in the Blood

This newly assembled novel by Irène Némirovsky, acclaimed author of Suite Française, delves into the complex lives of an insular French village in the years leading up to the war, where personal peace holds greater significance than political stability. At its heart is Silvio, a man who has traded the boredom of village life for a life of adventure, only to return content to a solitary existence in a farmer’s hovel. Through his narrative, listeners are drawn into a rich tapestry of love, infidelity, and hidden secrets that connect him to the village's past.
