Description

A couple sit at opposite ends of a table reminiscing about their life together. Each has a point of view and they rarely address each other directly. They are young to begin with, then middle-aged, then old, then one dies. 

The anecdotes they relate are both humorous and tragic. Their lives seem wasted, yet the wife’s muted final gesture of affection conveys a love that endured through years of bickering. 

A critical success in London, Ireland and the author’s native South Africa.
