Le Bal [review]

by Irène Némirovsky



A short but intense tale, full of frustration, malice, rancor, unfulfilled hopes. Némirovsky explores the darkest side of human nature, showing us (as Mary Nadotti wisely says in the introduction) human beings as they are. A short but good read, an author must definitely look into.
