Already acclaimed as a classic, this is the lost masterpiece behind the major new film starring Kristen Scott Thomas and Michelle Williams

"A masterpiece" The Sunday Times "Quite outstanding, full of beauty, pain and truth ... We are lucky to have this book" Sunday Telegraph "An irresistible work. Suite Francaise clutches the heart" The Times "Possibly the most devastating indictment of French manners and morals since Madame Bovary ... a novelist of the very first order, perceptive to a fault and sly in her emotional restraint" Evening Standard "Remarkable as the story of the publication of Suite Francaise is, it will finally be of anecdotal interest compared with the importance of the book. Here is the work of a fine novelist at the top of her form, writing about the fate of her adopted country with a pitiless clarity" -- Patrick Marnham "[I]t is certain to be the toast of publisher...evokes the heroism, brutality and cowardice of a country under occupation...critics are united in acclaiming it as one of the most important novels about the occupation" Sunday Times "Suite Francaise is one of those rare books that demands to be read" Guardian "A book of exceptional literary quality, it has the kind of intimacy found in the diary of Anne Frank" Times Literary Supplement
