5200 . ‡aPierre and Agnès are in love, but Pierre is engaged to someone else approved by his snobbish mother and the tyrannical family patriarch, the industrialist Julien Hardelot. Their love provokes a family feud which cascades down the generations. Even when war is imminent and Pierre is called up, the old man is unforgiving. Like Balzac or Galsworthy vividly chronicles the vicissitudes of a family, though on a tighter, more intimate scale. Full of drama and pathos, this is Némirovsky at the height of her powers. The exodus and flow of refugee humanity in both wars sets the stage for Suite Française; but this is Northern France, near the Somme, and the town of Saint-Elme is razed, along with the Hardelot factory and some of his fortune. Taut, evocative and beautifully paced, All Our Worldly Goods points up with heartbreaking, detailed clarity how history repeats itself, tragically, shockingly. It opens in the Edwardian era, on a fashionable Normandy beach, and ends with a changed world, under Nazi occupation.
