GianninaAlchemilla | Jan 5, 2020 |   ) newskepticx | Dec 18, 2013 | The second novella, Snow in Autumn, is a story, told through the eyes of the old nanny, of a wealthy, aristocratic family fleeing the Russian Revolution and ending up in Paris where they all struggle to adapt, some less successfully than others, notably the nanny. Its a piece that can best be described as 'un homage de Chekov'. I am not a Chekov fan and I didn't like this much either. Only a two-star story for me, but the first novella was so superlative that I've awarded the book 4 stars.

LE BAL depicts the life of the Kampfs who, having recently gone up in the world thanks to luck with the stock decide to throw a ball in order to launch themselves into society. Their daughter Antoinette, who has just turned fourteen, dreams of attending. But Madame Kampf is resolved not to present her daughter, already so grown up, to her admirers. Instead, Antoinette is forced to sleep in the laundry room, as her bedroom is used as coatroom. In an unpremeditated fury of revolt and despair, Antoinette takes her revenge. It is swift and it is horrible. A cruel, funny and tender examination of class differences, of the dynamic between mother and daughter, LE BAL is ultimately dedicated to the torments of childhood.SNOW IN AUTUMN pays homage to Nemirovsky's beloved Chekhov and chronicles the life of a devoted servant following her masters as they flee Revolutionary Moscow and emigrate to a life of hardship in Paris.
