The love story of Herb la Fouche
McCall Smith, Alexander, 1948-2022
Book
This is the story of Herb la Fouche, of St Julien, Ontario, a fictional town just over the Québec border. It is the story of how Herb, a good, quiet and unassuming man, a chemistry teacher, comes up with a unique invention and ends up on the Caribbean island of Martinique. There he meets and marries Celine, the divorced sister of the local police chief, Alphonse Charbonneau. Herb's life amounts to very little, but in this marriage he at last finds happiness and a certain nobility. All around are people whose voices are louder, their actions ostentatious, but it is the quiet life of Herb la Fouche that ultimately triumphs.
