Three Bedrooms in Manhattan (New York Review Books Classics)

Three Bedrooms in Manhattan (New York Review Books Classics)

An actor, recently divorced, at loose ends in New York; a woman, no less lonely, perhaps even more desperate than the man: they meet by chance in an all-night diner and are drawn to each other on the spot. Roaming the city streets, hitting its late-night dives, dropping another coin into yet another jukebox, these two lost souls struggle to understand what it is that has brought them, almost in spite of themselves, together. They are drivenâ€”from moment to moment, from bedroom to bedroomâ€”to improvise the most unexpected of love stories, a tale of suspense where risk alone offers salvation.

Georges Simenon was the most popular and prolific of the twentieth century's great novelists. Three Bedrooms in Manhattanâ€”closely based on the story of his own meeting with his second wifeâ€”is his most passionate and revealing work.
