pickGeorges Simenon is one of Belgium‘s most famous writers (known for his Inspector Maigret novels) but he also wrote ‘roman durs‘ or portraits of deviance. In this short roman dur/psychological thriller, adultery leads to crime and terrible consequences. Simenon‘s writing is both nuanced and descriptive as the story becomes increasingly intense.
pickReview below this. ( I did BLURB by mistake. )
And no mistakes : this is a ten out of ten pick 👍
This has been one riveting tale. I was completely absorbed from beginning to end. There is lots of diologue & I felt at times I was watching a play. Definitely a feeling of being once removed. Colour plays an interesting part. Blue Room. Red swimsuit. Silky grey hair. Sky/Blue pullover.
Tony says : in the Blue Room nothing was real “ this stayed with me.
Pick 👍
Brilliant writing. Reminded me at times of Herman Koch. I would highly recommend. ⭐️
Hoping to finish this book tonight. Goodnight Littens. Pic of my poor little pet , Jack, he was curled up on the couch all through the storm. I love this guy ❤️. Chat tomo. 👍
Reading by candlelight, still no electricity. The Blue Room is intriguing & the writer paints a nuanced picture, very good. 👍
Littens , I'm running out of battery & no electricity & cant go out. Chat soon 💕pic taken in the woods yesterday
It's so strange reading this book , because I was In Liege a long time ago ( the author was born in Liege ) & I was on a romantic adventure. This makes me smile. Better wait & see what happens. Only just beginning this. 💜pic a piece of a collage my son did
