«Le Festin» is the novel by Margaret Kennedy, published by La Table Ronde in paperback (467 pages, in French).
Cornwall, 1947. The Pendizack Hotel, a mansion converted by its penniless owners, disappears under the cliff collapse with seven guests inside. The novel reconstructs the previous week: a heterogeneous gallery of vacationers —a selfish aristocrat, a bohemian writer, a grieving couple— coexist by the sea while the worst secrets surface and the cracks widen.
Translation from the English by Denise Van Moppès; the work was originally published in 1949 as «The Feast».
For readers of classic literary fiction with a British setting, with intrigue and social critique; also suitable for book clubs.
