of the Year Award Shortlisted for the 2015 James Tait Black
Memorial Prize Shortlisted for the 2015 PEN Ackerley prize
Longlisted for the 2014 Thwaites Wainwright Prize Let me take you
down the thin cobblestoned streets of the Belgian border town of
Bouillon. Let me take you down the alleys that lead into its past.
To a town peopled with eccentrics, full of charm, menace and
wonder. To the days before television, to Marie Bodard's sweetshop,
to the Nazi occupation and unexpected collaborators. To a place
where one neighbour murders another over the misfortune of pigs and
potatoes. To the hotel where the French poet Verlaine his lover
Rimbaud, holed up whilst on the run from family, creditors and the
law. This exquisite meditation on place, time and memory is an
illicit peek into other people's countries, into the spaces they
have populated with their memories, and might just make you revisit
your own in a new and surprising way.
