The Train – George Simenon – First UK edition 1964
Short Description
Published by Hamish Hamilton in 1964 translated from the French of 1961.
A different sort of novel by George Simenon from those familiar with Inspector Maigret. And an especially collectable first edition.
It is 1940 and the German army is on the move in Europe. There is a stampede for trains to escape and no less so than from Fumay. In the chaos Marcel gets separated from his wife and children. He meets Anna and a strange relationship ensues. Finally at the evacuee camp at La Rochelle decision time has arrived.
Simenon and an very moving story on The Train
