"Alice und Jules, ein altes Ehepaar, haben ein morgendliches Ritual - und auch an diesem Wintermorgen wird Alice geweckt von dem Duft des Kaffees, den Jules schon zubereitet hat. Doch als sie zu ihm ins Wohnzimmer kommt, sitzt Jules tot auf dem Sofa. Da beschließt Alice, diesen Tag noch mit ihrem toten Mann zu verbringen, denn es gibt das eine oder andere, was sie mit ihm zu klären hat und worüber nie gesprochen werden konnte. Wie immer kommt um zehn Uhr der kleine autistische Nachbarsjunge David, um seine übliche Partie Schach mit Jules zu spielen. Am Ende muß David sogar die Nacht bei Alice verbringen, eine ganz unvorstellbare Komplikation. Doch David reagiert ganz anders, als Alice befürchtet hatte, ja er überrascht sie sogar. Diane Broeckhovens Novelle über Alice und Jules und über David und Alice ist eine dichte, ergreifende, wunderbar feine Geschichte über Rituale, Liebe, Verrat und Verlust, einen Verlust, der am Ende auf wunderliche Weise ausgeglichen wird."

"When Alice, an elderly woman, smells the coffee her husband, Jules, has just made, she gets up. This ritual repeats itself every day until one morning she finds him lifeless on the sofa before the coffee is ready. While Jules slowly turns into a statue, Alice reminisces about earlier days, telling him things she hasn't dared express before."
