sentences:  It is extraordinary that the manuscript should have survived in such extreme circumstances, having been taken by Irene Némirovsky's daughter Denise as she was being helped to flee from hiding place to hiding place during wartime.Denise, however, kept the notebooks containing the nearly indecipherable manuscript of "Suite française" unread in an old suitcase for more than sixty years, convinced that it would indeed be a painful diary reminding her of the war that would not be beneficial to read.In the late 1990s, having made arrangements to contribute these manuscripts to a French archive, Denise decided to decipher the notebooks first, which resulted in the rediscovery of the original manuscripts of the fictional work "Suite française" which she had published in association with publisher Olivier Rubinstein in France in 2004.
