Benoite Groult
“Exploring the realms of desire, sexuality and love with uninhibited candour, Benoite Groult’s extraordinary novel charts the lifelong affair between a Parisian intellectual and a Breton fisherman, a couple divided by everything but he flame of passion which burns between them.
They first meet as children. As the years pass they are separated by a path each feels compelled to follow. She pursues an academic career in France, Canada and the United States, while he marries a local girl and settles down to the stifling narrowness of family life. Yet, despite the torment of separation, and the obligations that bind them to others, their improbably perfect love endures.” – book cover.
