Ursula, always portrayed as the selfish black sheep, had been sexually abused as a child by her oldest brother Sean, who was venerated as a hero by the family for his death in the war. Ursula explains to Bernard that the experience ruined her marriage and her life. She wants Jack's apology for Jack knew of the abuse but kept silent. In the midst of this, Bernard strikes up a tentative relationship with Yolande Miller, the driver of the car that hit his father. Bernard's gradual sexual awakening parallels Ursula's struggle with her illness.

Título : The grandmother Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Simenon, Georges, Autor ; Stewart, Jean, Traductor Editorial: United States of America [US] : HBJ Fecha de publicación: 1959 Número de páginas: 172 p. Il.: 21 cm. Dimensiones: Printed Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: CONTEMPORARY NOVEL Resumen: Summary : Two women, far apart in age yet close in character, become locked in a riveting duel. An emergency brings a grandmother and granddaughter into dangerous proximity: they agree to share the same apartment. Both are ferociously independent, self-willed, strong-minded. Mutually fascinated, they try to exert their influence on each other. And life under the same roof becomes a subtle power game with rules so complicated that only the two players fully understand them. At one point the grand-mother says, “I’m not nice, and I’m too old to star now.” The granddaughter´s malice matches her own. In their battle of wits, the first victory goes to the old woman, the last, definitive one, to the young.
Set in a landmark part of Paris, this poignant tale with its singularly topical theme-where do old people go?-is Simenon at his formidable best, in the evocative setting, the psychological acuity, the absorbing telling.Ubicación : 813/S732g Reserva
