'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century ... Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.'
The Guardian
Simenon's dark, malevolent depiction of an ordinary man trapped in mundanity and consumed by obsession.
'The island itself. Its throbbing heat as if in a belljar under the sun, the scorpion in his son's bed, the deafening sound of cicadas.'
During his first holiday on the island of Porquerolles, Dr Mahé caught a glimpse of something irresistible. As the memory continues to haunt him, he falls prey to a delusion that may offer an escape from his conventional existence – or may destroy him.
The English translation of The Mahé Circle, Simenon's dark, malevolent depiction of an ordinary man trapped in mundanity and consumed by obsession.
'A supreme writer ... unforgettable vividness.'
The Independent
'Superb ... The most addictive of writers ... A unique teller of tales.'
Aaron Beck, Psychiatrist
