Marie of the Port (novel) β Chit of a Girl β This article was recently created. Relevant policy states: "If the book is best known by an English title, use that version of the title." The novel was originally published in French in 1938 under the title La Marie du port. It was first translated into English in 1949 as "Chit of a Girl". All major English-language scholarly works and biographies of its author Gearges Simenon refer to the novel as La Marie du port or (if they are referring to the English translation) as Chit of a Girl. This includes Marnham, Patrick (1994). The Man Who Wasn't Maigret, a portrait of Georges Simenon. Harcourt Brace & Company. p. 330; Young, Trudee (1976). Georges Simenon, a checklist of his 'Maigret' and other mystery novels and short stories in French and in English translations. Metuchen, N.J.: The Scarecrow Press; and Forshaw, Barry (2022). Simenon, The Man, The Books, The Films, A 21st Century Guide. UK: Oldcastle Books. p. 157. See also [1]. This indicates that the book is best known in English-speaking countries under the name of its English translation as Chit of a Girl. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 04:41, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support per well-researched nomination. This novel was certainly never published in the English-speaking world under the title "Marie of the Port", although American editions have used the title "Justice".Β βRoman Spinner (talk β’ contribs) 08:09, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
