In his new novel, Julien Decoin ventures with sensitivity and tenderness into the breath of paternal love.
It is the novel of the father, the daughter and the sea. The sea – or the ocean – which separates a 5-year-old girl from her mother, from her mother, who lives on an island not very far away and yet inaccessible because the boat will not come. At the heart of the confinement of 2020, the father and the daughter will therefore find themselves isolated in a coastal hotel.
Through this unique situation, Julien Decoin explores with infinite sensitivity and tenderness, one of the most beautiful adventures of man today: fatherhood.
“ Calm weather, full storm », his fourth novel, was published by Editions du Seuil.
