The Blue Room

By Georges Simenon, Linda Coverdale (translator),

Book cover of The Blue Room

Book description

A new translation of Simenon's gripping novel about lives transformed by deceit and the destructive power of lust.

It was all real: himself, the room, Andree still lying on the ravaged bed.

For Tony and Andree, there are no rules when they meet in the blue room at the Hotel…

When you buy books, we may earn a commission that helps keep our lights on (or join the rebellion as a member).

Why read it?

1 author picked The Blue Room as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Simenon, who wrote hundreds of novels, was a master of understatement, and his ability to conjure characters and story with a few words is evidence of his mastery. This is such a simple story and so well structured it shows that all you need for a good novel is character setting and style.
