An intense story of self-destructive and blighted love, this first novel by the author of 'Suite Francaise' by the Russian émigré Irène Némirovsky (1903-1942) is also a satire of French society in the aftermath of the First World War. "Written when the author was just 21 years old and published 2 years later, 'The Misunderstanding' shows remarkable understanding of the mysteries of the human heart and the social, familial and economic pressures that pull two lovers apart, even as passion draws them closer. The two central figures are exquisitely drawn, with Yves, in particular, a remarkable portrait of the deep pain and wounded pride of a man born to luxury and living in reduced circumstances" (Michael Arditti Daily Mail) .
