Two friends

Many will know Simenon for his detective novels, which are among the best of the genre. Rather less will have read his "straight" novels, of which The Girl With A Squint is one. Simenon covers familiar literary ground in this story of two friends-- one plain and the other beautiful-- but the familiarity is never tired, and although slight it is certainly worth the time to read.
