Title : The Shore of Farewells - Hermary-Vieille Catherine - book

Summary :

"Would you like me to tell you a beautiful story of love and death?" These are the words that began the most dazzling, tender, and cruel legend ever told by bards in the Celtic kingdoms: that of Tristan and Isolde. Since her adolescence, Catherine Hermary-Vieille dreamed of this magical work whose theme has been so often revisited, but whose audacity, violence, and many twists and turns remain curiously unknown. Respecting the original framework of the classic plot, The Farewell Shore fully resurrects the adulterous and tragic affair of a very young queen, the indestructible fidelity of her lover, the pathetic hesitations of a king betrayed by his wife and nephew, harassed by perfidious barons behind the walls of an old fortress battered by the waves of the Irish Sea. If, since the dawn of time, love has remained an enigma, should we not, if it comes, receive it with happiness, accept it as the most precious of gifts, even if it sometimes proves so difficult to live? Beyond their imperishable passion, the immortal lovers of The Farewell Shore testify that only love can transcend our existence, overturn our beliefs, push back the limits of our horizons, give us a glimpse of mysterious lands where the eternal wedding of bodies and souls is finally accomplished.
