Maigret's Memoirs by Georges Simenon

Jonathan’s last review of the year

it was amazing
A beautiful book in which Maigret gives his own version of events, correcting some of the details the author Simenon has given in his novels, and then realizes that it doesn’t really matter. Very touching, one of my favourite Maigret books, and more than ably translated by Howard Curtis. Definitely would recommend.
