When his beloved wife takes a work assignment in Paris, Max is left alone for the first time in decades. In her absence, he finds companionship – and antagonism – in the eccentric band of regulars who drink at his neighbourhood bar, revelling equally in small pleasures and trivial squabbles. Winner of our 'exophonica' book selection, Alex Capus’ contemplative novel is a story of trust, longevity and love.
