In 'Dogs and Wolves', Irène Némirovsky introduces us to Ada and Harry Sinner, two young Jewish people from different social classes united by an unforgettable childhood memory. Ada, exiled from Ukraine, struggles to succeed as a painter after marrying her cousin Ben. Harry, on the other hand, moves in the world of high finance after marrying a wealthy and Catholic young French woman. Fate brings them together when Harry is attracted to Ada's paintings, reviving the past they both left behind. This novel, published in 1940, explores themes of identity, exile, and the complexities of love in the context of 1920s Paris.
Irène Némirovsky was a novelist of Ukrainian Jewish origin who was born in Kiev, then in the Russian Empire. She lived more than half her life in France and wrote in French, but was denied French nationality. Arrested as a Jew under the racial laws – which did not take into account her conversion to Roman Catholicism – she died in Auschwitz at the age of 39. Némirovsky is best known for the posthumously published Suite française.
