About this listen

This is a story from the Normandy Stories collection.

Maupassant is hailed as one of the greatest masters of the short story. This collection focuses upon the land he knew and loved so well - Normandy. Its people and its countryside are portrayed here in vivid color and with great warmth. Amusing, saucy, and sometimes even farcical they may be, but they are also capable of great pathos, often branching off to end tragically. It is this skilful and affecting blend of tragedy and comedy, of tears and laughter, which make Maupassant's Normandy Stories the enduring favorites they are today.

Editorial reviews

Simon Bombard is handsome layabout on the hunt for a woman to marry when he meets a rich widow named Kate Robinson. Three months later they are married, and though Bombard is ecstatic with his wife's money, he is less enthused with her. He turns his wandering eye toward their maid Victorine, though little does Bombard know that his wife knows more about their arrangement than he thinks. Oliver Montgomery performs this Guy de Maupassant short story with a devilish wink, lending the drama an appropriate frothiness. Montgomery's light touch helps turn "Bombard" into a droll delight.
