I really enjoyed the ordinariness of some of these stories set against the often extraordinary times depicted in them. I often struggle to enjoy short story collections as it's not a genre I tend to connect with but I really enjoyed many of these snapshots of a day or a moment in the lives of these characters.

Very disappointing, the stories are very trite.

Nemirovsky is now my favorite writer. So, obviously, this was a great book, in my opinion.

Némirovsky is talented in her ability to look at an issue or event from many perspectives. This talent is wonderfully showcased in this collection of extremely human characters as they react to the upcoming/occurring WWII.
