Beside the Sea
of VĂ©ronique Olmi, Adriana Hunter (Translator)
Description
A single mother takes her two sons on a trip to the seaside. They stay in a hotel, drink hot chocolate, and go to the funfair. She wants to protect them from an uncaring and uncomprehending world. She knows that it will be the last trip for her boys.Beside the Sea is a haunting and thought-provoking story about how a mother's love for her children can be more dangerous than the dark world she is seeking to keep at bay. It's a hypnotizing look at an unhinged mind and the cold society that produced it. With language as captivating as the story that unfolds, VĂ©ronique Olmi creates an intimate portrait of madness and despair that won't soon be forgotten.
