When his temperamental wife Mathilde insists on coming along  on the  ship's first voyage, Lannec becomes increasingly unnerved by her   presence, especially when he receives an anonymous note saying he won't   make it back to port. As they hit a storm in the Atlantic, jealousy,   spite, snobbery and suspicion are churned up in the boat's stiflingly   close quarters...\r\n\r\n   First published in 1935, The Pitards  was one of the first novels Simenon wrote when he shelved his famous  Maigret series in order to strike out in a new direction and make a name  for himself as a literary writer. This gripping evocation of life at  sea revolves around class and the tense unravelling of relationships,  powerful themes that Simenon would return to throughout his writing  career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
