Hardcover. Condition: Very Good-. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reprint Edition. Red boards with gold lettering, 146 pp. Corners bumped, slight edge wear, spine cracked at page 20. Jacket in new Brodart, spine a bit sunned, slight edge wear. A nice copy. ; Jacket states that this was translated by Caroline Hillier, but the t…itle page shows the translator as Isabel Quigly. ; 7 ¾" - 9 ¾" Tall; 146 pages; "A physician watches by the bedside of his son, who is stricken with diphtheria. Ordinarily he is too busy for introspection, but now the isolation forced upon him releases to the surface of his mind a traumatic experience from his own childhood, linked also to illness - a crime committed by his parents. Family ties appear as family lies, sustained by hypocrisy, fear - and love. " Simenon's mastery shows in the vividness of the pictures arising out of a long-buried memory, which stand outin the light of true flashes of recognition. The past as resuscitated in the claustrophobic sickroom atmosphere has a haunting quality, an eerie suspense. This is a remarkable study of family relationships, destructive and contructive, and of a father's unspoken communication with a beloved, threatened child. ".
