PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Set in an occupied town in an unnamed country during an unnamed war (clearly World War II), Simenon's masterpiece is the story of struggling family, just trying to survive the occupation. Well, mom runs a whorehouse, and her son Frank Friedmaier is a small time crook. The book follows young Frank on a criminal escapade leading to an unfortunate downward spiral, and apparently under the watchful eyes of the occupying authorities. Haunting, and brilliant.
