Three people, a sailboat, ten days to turn everything upside down. <\/b><\/p>\n
At seventy-seven, Fran\u00e7oise has only one certainty left: her freedom lies in Maurice, her twelve-meter sailboat. She wants to cross the Atlantic one last time, from Madeira to Martinique. On board, she takes Martin, her son, a disillusioned webtoon artist, and C\u00e9cile, a fragile woman in her thirties, scarred by toxic relationships.<\/p>\n
What was supposed to be a cruise turns into a maritime confinement of rare intensity, where the ocean reveals the cracks, the silences, and impossible loyalties.<\/p>\n
Sc\u00e9l\u00e9rate<\/i> explores filial love, the right to choose one\u2019s own ending, the passing down of traditions, and that measure of freedom that no one can take away. A debut novel as taut as a lifeline: at sea, to love is sometimes to learn to let go.<\/p>\n
David Vanek<\/b> was born in Britany. He is the heir to a dual lineage of sailors who have left their mark on French sailing. He transforms this maritime heritage into literature in Sc\u00e9l\u00e9rate<\/i>. An entrepreneur and father of three daughters, he divides his time between London and Paris.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
