Tell me I was here

Bol

It's been several years since his divorce, but retired artisan Abdel struggles to adapt to life in a big, empty house. Clinging to routines and late-night talks with the affable bouncer at his favourite Irish pub, he is caught between confronting a painful past and an uncertain future. When he impulsively decides to help the teenage runaway Loïc, he is thrust into the centre of a social drama that quickly takes over his life. Their journey through the alleys and beaches of Cannes brings them into contact with an eclectic cast: a shop owner who curates the belongings of the departed, a rebellious musician who offers Loïc a lifeline, and the ever-present, enigmatic Wanderer.Tom Weber's latest novel is a poignant exploration of grief, resilience, and what it truly means to have lived a life, revealing a world of struggle and solidarity far from the glamour of the festival lights.
