French
Chapter 5: Michel Epstein
Irène Némirovsky meets her future husband, a Russian Jew like her, during the new year 1925. « I don’t know, she wrote to her French friend, if you remember Michel Epstein, a little brown-haired guy with a very dark complexion who returned with Choura and us by taxi on that memorable night or rather that memorable morning of January 1st? He is courting me and, my goodness, I find him to my liking. So, since the crush is very violent at the moment, you shouldn’t ask me to leave, do you understand?
