'Powerful . . . unputdownably gripping' Guardian'The island itself. Its throbbing heat as if in a belljar under the sun, the scorpion in his son's bed, the deafening sound of cicadas'During his first holiday on the island of Porquerolles Dr Mahé caught a glimpse of something irresistible. As the memory continues to haunt him, he falls prey to a delusion that may offer an escape from his conventional existence - or may destroy him. This is the first English translation of The Mahé Circle, Simenon's dark, malevolent depiction of an ordinary man trapped in mundanity and consumed by obsession. 'Extraordinary . . . Simenon is one of the most important writers of the 20th century' Independent

A shattering study of restlessness and midlife crisis on the ocean, from an icon of bleak fiction. Fran ois Mah took his family on vacation to Porquerolles, a sun-drenched C te d'Azur island, only because a friend suggested it. His everyday life as a small-town doctor was sedate and predictable, but contented--until he experienced the strange, hostile energy of Porquerolles, with its intense heat and deafening thrum of cicadas. Now Fran ois is consumed with a terrible restlessness, a mutinous longing that settles on an impoverished young girl. He doesn't love her, he tells himself, or even desire her. Yet for what she represents--danger, newness, a renunciation of passivity--he may just set a match to everything. A pitiless meditation on the irreconcilable lures of belonging and freedom, The Mah Circle is Georges Simenon at the height of his disturbing powers.
