"Luminous. . . . These accomplished tales create worlds full of secrets and treacheries. . . . "Flesh and Blood" is a masterpiece of familial subterfuge. . . . In this superlative translation, Némirovsky's characters emerge full-fleshed, and her voice remains timeless and relevant."

The New York Times Book Review "Némirovsky's scope is like that of Tolstoy: She sees the fullness of humanity and its tenuous arrangements and manages to put them together with a tone that is affectionate, patient, and relentlessly honest."
