I also caught the erroneous name given to Philippe and agree this denotes carelessness. I consider much of the criticism careless as well. True, the author observes failings in her bourgeois characters in "Storm in June." However, she doesn't render them as unlikeable as one would think from this author's review. I was so caught up in their struggles that I rooted for them in spite of themselves. This, I believe, was Nemirovsky's intent. She was one of them, after all.
