What a beautiful flowing text, wonderfully written closer to reality. A small light touches, almost impressionistic, Nemirovsky restores the images, scents, nature, never tire by a host of descriptions. Humanism is impressive. And lucidity so! She describes what she sees how the occupant is perceived by the population, gradually gets used to it, women attracted to these young men blond and vigorous, the prestige of a beautiful uniform ... and the love that knows no hatred, fortunately. The image of France Resistant imposed by de Gaulle takes a hit, but it was also the reality. This second part of the book "Dolce" reminded me of "The Silence of the Sea" written at the same time and also prophesies the Franco-German rapprochement. Three other parties were to emerge if a tragic fate had forgotten Jewishness Irene. For my part, I am inconsolable. Also read the recent biography of Irene Nemirovsky where we find the identity of most of the characters of the novel.
