Characters featured as originating from Central and Eastern Europe are to be found in any piece of literature. This time, I met the "Polish Maria" in Maigret à l'école.
A short introduction: she is an episodic character, in a plot about (of course, because it is about Maigret) a crime - an old lady shot dead, for whom she is making the cleaning service. Her family name will be disclosed only after half of the book - Smelker. She found the body of Léonie Birard and will be investigated for a couple of time and she could be suspected as being a real recipient of the old lady inheritage (and because of this, interested to enter sooner in the possession of her goods).
We found out she came in the village of St. André at 16 - the circumstances are unknown, never married, but she is the mother of five children, all illegitimate. As presence, she is described as being very dirty, stinky. And, at a certain moment of the story, she's vanishing.
