Cecile is Dead
A new translation of this moving novel about the destructive power of greed, book twenty in the new Penguin Maigret series.Poor Cécile! Maigret had seen her papers: barely twenty-eight years old. And yet she was still young.
Those black dresses that she must make for herself from bad paper patterns, that ridiculous green hat!In the dreary suburbs of Paris, the merciless greed of a seemingly respectable woman is unearthed by her long suffering niece, and Maigret discovers the far-reaching consequences of their actions.Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. But it would be difficult to look more like an old maid, to move less gracefully, in spite of the care she took to be friendly and pleasant. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret and the Spinster.
'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray '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' Guardian 'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent
