'A unique teller of tales ... What interested Simenon was the
average man losing control of his own fate' Observer 'She was
beautiful, full of vitality, and he was sixteen years older, a
dusty, lonely bookseller whose only passion in life was collecting
stamps.' Jonas is used to his young wife disappearing. Everyone in
the town knows that she goes off with other men. This time,
however, he tells a small lie to protect her, saying she is
visiting a school friend. It is a lie, however, that eats into him
like an illness, provoking hostility and resentment of this timid
little Russian-Jewish bookseller, who always thought he had been
accepted. As suspicion mounts, his true, terrifying isolation is
revealed.
