Lettre a MA Mere ET Autres Textes by Georges Simenon
Ma chere maman, Voila trois ans et demi environ que tu es morte a l'age de quatre-vingt-onze ans et c'est seulement maintenant que, peut-etre, je commence a te connaitre. J'ai vecu mon enfance et mon adolescence dans la meme maison que toi, avec toi, et quand je t'ai quittee pour gagner Paris, vers l'age de dix-neuf ans, tu restais encore pour moi une etrangere. D'ailleurs, je ne t'ai jamais appelee maman mais je t'appelais mere, comme je n'appelais pas mon pere papa. Pourquoi ? D'ou est venu cet usage ? Je l'ignore.
Georges Simenon (1903 1989) was born in Liege, Belgium.

Renowned all over the world for his series of mysteries featuring Inspector Maigret, Simenon was also the author of many psychological novels. The Engagement is one of eight novels by Simenon published by NYRB Classics.
