The Widow is the story of two outcasts and their fatal encounter. One is the widow herself, Tati. Still young, sheâ€™s never had an easy time of it, but sheâ€™s not the kind to complain. Tati lives with her father-in-law on the family farm, putting up with his sexual attentions, working her fingers to the bone, improving the property and knowing all the time that her late husbandâ€™s sister is scheming to kick her out and take the house back.

The other is a killer. Just out of prison and in search of a new life, Jean meets up with Tati, who hires him as a handyman and then takes him to bed. Things are looking up, at least until Jean falls hard for the girl next door.

The Widow was published in the same year as Camusâ€™ The Stranger, and AndrÃ© Gide judged it the superior book. It is Georges Simenonâ€™s most powerful and disturbing exploration of the bond between death and desire.
