Éric, 59
Projectionist at a small neighbourhood cinema in France. Photographs places before they are demolished. Terrible puns, honest heart.
Marc, 56
Independent bookbinder in Angers. Mends damaged books, draws violins badly, asks “May I?” before anything.

From the novels
Éric and Marc come from Marianne Valciel’s second-chance romance novels, written for adult readers. Two short, non-explicit extracts:
He caught it with an efficient sort of clumsiness, between his wrist and his jacket. His glasses slid down his nose. He had to choose between them and the fruit. “Keep your glasses,” she advised him. “I have already lost two oranges.”

He cleared a rectangle of table and waited for her to put down the notebook. “May I?” […] “It will remain rippled.” “I am not looking for new.” “Then we should get along.”
