Three Bedrooms in Manhattan

Description

A recently divorced actor and a no less lonely woman meet by chance in a New York diner. The city – its bars, its cheap motels and its rented rooms – becomes the cinematic setting of the couple’s escalating and mysterious relationship. A move against desperation and drift, their affair nevertheless glows with an urgent and compulsive romance. Georges Simenon was one of the most popular twentieth-century novelists. Three Bedrooms in Manhattan – closely based on the story of his own meeting with his second wife – is his most passionate and revealing work.
