Benny and Shrimp

The bestselling "offbeat, down-to- earth love story"(The Observer, London)- now available in the United States An international sensation, this addictively readable tale asks the question: Why is it so impossible to get a relationship between two middle-aged misfits to work' The answer lies in the story of Shrimp, a young widowed librarian with a sharp intellect and a home so tidy that her jam jars are in alphabetical order; Benny, a gentle, overworked milk farmer who fears becoming the village's Old Bachelor; and an unlikely love that should not be as complicated as it seems. Reminiscent of the works of Carol Shields, this quirky, humorous, beautifully told novel breathes new life into the age-old conundrum that is love.

Leur mariage tenait plus du copinage que du grand amour. Au cimetière, elle croise souvent la personne qui vient sur la tombe d'à côté, un homme de son âge, dont l'apparence l'agace autant que la stèle tape-à-l'oeil de la tombe."
