About the book
Meet Alphonse. Good, happy - but also funny, observant and imaginative, Alphonse is formerly a musician based in Brussels who has left the city with his girlfriend Kat to live near her parents in the buttoned-up rural district of Westhoek. It has open fields, wide, low skies, more World War I graves than almost anywhere in Europe - and one of the highest suicide rates in the western world. Alphonse starts a new life as a handyman - as he paints and decorates the interior of people's homes he gets to know their complex emotional lives. . .
