The widow of a British soldier killed at an RAF base in Cyprus has turned to crowdfunding in her fight for answers over her husbands death. But nothing is at it seems, and as affections strain and stray, their relationship hurtles toward a disturbing doom. In the still and heat of the summer, they labour together and, inevitably, begin their affair. It is Georges Simenons most powerful and disturbing exploration of the bond between death and desire. There is between them an affinity and Jean agrees to lodge with Tati, and help with the farm as he can. 'The Widow' was published in the same year as Camus 'The Stranger,' and Andre Gide judged it the superior book. A bus stops on the road to Montlucon, and there two strangers meet: Tati, a steely widow, who runs the farm her late husband left behind, and Jean, an odd, quiet man with nowhere to go. ![]()
