Title : Bread of the Sea - Joël Raguenes - book

Summary :

"Joël Raguénès delivers here a superb saga which allows us to discover the islands of Ponant and the coast of Léon so wild and
so beautiful. It is written with efficiency but also with the poetry essential to this region, in which the harshness of the people and places implied generosity and courage."
Christian Signol


1923. Gwen-Aël Kernéis is twenty-eight years old and is finishing her studies in Paris, while taking over the management of the family iodine business in Le Conquet that François, her father, had left her two years earlier.

His meeting with Viviane and then an accident at the factory will turn his life upside down. Faced with all kinds of difficulties, he realizes that he is not alone; his father and his friend Yves Kerléo, the former king of sea bread, are only too happy to help him restart the factory and fight the decline of the iodine industry.

Gwen-Aël and Viviane, along with their loved ones, Karl, Julia, Aurélie, and Jean-Yves, love each other, get married, have children, suffer, work, and have fun, like their parents, and like, again, all those who share with them this epic tale of iodine and kelp. All will be caught up in the turmoil of an era that—the madness of some, the cowardice of others—leads them, inexorably, toward an announced war.
