Suite Française

Both the French original and the first English are collected. The true first is Denoël, Paris, 2004 (French). In English, Sandra Smith's translation appeared first from Chatto & Windus, London (ISBN 9780701178963), published 2 March 2006, preceding Alfred A. Knopf, New York (ISBN 9781400044733), published 11 April 2006 — so the UK edition holds English-language precedence by roughly six weeks. Note a documented error in circulation: the English Wikipedia article dates the Chatto & Windus translation to 2004, which conflicts with the publisher's own 2006 hardcover and with dealer records; treat 2006 as correct. The later Vintage Classics and Everyman's Library issues are 'first thus' reprints only.
