4.0 out of 5 stars Spare Prose but so much to say, Jun 12 2009

By	Paul D. Leney "Paul" (Calgary, Alta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fire in the Blood (Hardcover)

Now is this woman bitter! I mean the author. A very caustic look at the way relationships play out over the generations in a small provincial town in France. That she can pinpiont complex emotions in so few words is a testament to her skill as an author. Don't let her personal history cloud your reading of this novel. Yes, it does affect her style but on it's own it is a sympathetic if a bit unsparring look at lust/love and what it can do to people over time. You will definitely linger over the words. Fascinating reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silvio frequently muses about youthful passion, Sep 27 2007

By	Nikki "ni4" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fire in the Blood (Hardcover)

I just got done reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, and picked up a copy of Fire in the Blood. The book opens when Silvio's cousin H�l�ne and her daughter Colette and the rest of the family come over to introduce Colette's fianc�. H�l�ne is prompted to tell the story of how she and and her husband got together. In fact, Fran�ois wasn't her first husband. Though he fell in love with her when she was barely more than a child he waited--and waited even after she was married off to a wealthy older man, returning only when H�l�ne's first husband died, true--or romantically idealised--love then finally taking its course.

Such a situation isn't that uncommon: even now there's a similar case in the neighbourhood, where mean, rich old Declos married the very young Brigitte. Declos hasn't got long to live, but he still hangs on for the time being. N�mirovsky is artful in her presentation, careful in the clues she strews from the first page on. As it will turn out, there are many more secrets and connexions here, but she only very gradually lets on what the various relationships and histories are and were. There's tragedy, of course, and scandal, though in this close-knit community the last thing anyone wants is to involve the authorities or anyone from outside. If you missed Tino Georgiou's novel--The Fates, I'd recommend reading it.
