Title: Surging Love - Chantal Rassat - book
Summary :
François is a sweetheart. His restaurant in Biscarrosse is a popular spot, and his life may seem easy to those unfamiliar with his past. Yet, this Don Juan's life has not been easy. Like waves crashing in, tragedy and joy have washed over him, and like foam dispersing on the sand, love has left many scars in this wounded heart. Spanning the periods of our history over the past fifty years, this beautiful novel reminds us that human destiny remains suspended at random, like driftwood at the mercy of the tides.
Chantal Rassat has taught French and English in various colleges in France, notably in Parentis-en-Born. Her first novel, Un destin apprivoisé, was a resounding success.
