All Our Wordly Goods by Irene Nemirovsky

I always feel as if I knows each of Nemirovsky's characters personally. All Our Wordly Goods is a story that spans 2 wars and 3 generations. It is set in France and is extremely poignant. It is about a village of people caught up in a war (twice) who have no wish to be in it. It is about a love story between Agnes and Pierre that began when they were children. It is about love, heartache, infidelity, pain in losing everything, and rebuilding lives and relationships. It is heartbreaking and uplifting. Trying to explain Nemirovsky's works almost leaves me without words. She was/is a jewel.   5 stars!
