I've read Fire in the Blood by Irene Nemirovsky, the author of the wonderful Suite Francaise. This is a short novel about love, regret, adultery and honour. An elderly man looks back on his life and his great love. He is forced to confront his past as he deals with a family situation in the present which has connections to the past. The marriages are not what they seem and decisions must be made on how to deal with the present and remain "respectable". A good story. 4/5
