A little info to go along with bigponder's answer:
"Suite Française is the title of a planned sequence of five novels by Irène Némirovsky, a French writer of Russian Jewish origin. In July 1942, having just completed the first two of the series, Némirovsky was arrested as a Jew and detained at Pithiviers and then Auschwitz, where she died of typhus. The notebook containing the two novels was preserved by her daughters but not examined until 1998. They were published, in a single volume entitled Suite Française, in 2004."
