'She's gone to Bourges?
It was to protect Gina's reputation that Jonas had told the little lie. She had often gone off with younger men since their wedding. In fact her family, most of the neigh-bours - they all knew. How could the timid little bookseller foresee the dumb hostility and suspicion, the police inquiries, the ugly discoveries his lie would provoke in the place he called home?
*May well become one of his classics. The central character is a little Russien 'ew, suspected of the murder of his tarty wife who ha disa-peared. . .. The atmosphere of the provincial town rket where the couple have been living is superbly drawn, and needless to say the end is a model of its kind' - David Holloway
