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 writes to her French friend, if you remember Michel Epstein, a little brown guy with a very dark complexion who came back with Choura and us by taxi on that memorable night or rather that memorable morning of the 1st of January? He is courting me, and I find him to my liking. So, since the crush is very violent right now, you shouldn’t ask me to leave, do you understand?”
