Set on the Opal Coast during the Roaring Twenties, this captivating story follows the journey of Laurette, a young fisherman's daughter from Étaples who dreams of social advancement. After securing a position as a chambermaid at the prestigious Royal Picardy hotel in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, her life takes an unexpected turn. The novel explores the contrast between the simple life of the fishing port and the splendor of the global elite who frequented the seaside resort, weaving a tale of ambition, humiliation, and a desire for revenge.
With evocative prose, Annie Degroote pays a deep tribute to the North of France, capturing the essence of an era marked by luxury and social inequality. It is an essential work for lovers of French literature who enjoy plots set in real historical contexts and characters with strong determination.
