We will never know the full extent of Nemirovsky's literary brilliance because her life ended too soon for her total potential to be realized. The works that she left were written under dreadful conditions, and yet their impact is overwhelming.

Fire in the Blood takes place in a small French town and is built around long-held secrets that are gradually revealed involving two generations. The secrets include infidelities, murder, and an illegitimate child. The events are seen through the eyes and memories of Silvio, whose involvement deepens as the novel unfolds. Nemirovsky's death in Auschwitz is as haunting as the books she left behind.
