Critics Review
A unique teller of tales … What interested Simenon was the average man losing control of his own fate
A unique teller of tales … What interested Simenon was the average man losing control of his own fate * Observer *A treat… every bit as gripping as his detective stories… There’s much to enjoy in the atmospheric portrayal of 1950s French life and the elegant simplicity with which Milk’s story is told. Simenon enthusiasts should get a copy. They won’t be disappointed – Martin Bentham * Evening Standard *
About The Author
Georges Simenon
Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. An intrepid traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human condition in all its shades.
His novels include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon.
He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
