French
Chapter 5: Michel Epstein
Irène Némirovsky meet her future husband, Russian Jew like her, on New Year’s Eve 1925. I don’t know, she writes to her French friend, if you remember Michel Epstein, a little brown with a very dark complexion who came back with Choura and us by taxi for this memorable night or rather this memorable morning of January 1st? He is courting me, and I find him to my liking. So, since the crush is very violent right now, don’t ask me to leave, you understand?
