The story is set on the isolated island of Yeu and focuses on the life of Damase Valmineau, an aging fisherman known as the "braconnier de la mer," who lives alone after the tragic deaths of his family members. The narrative introduces a strong sense of place, highlighting the rugged beauty and harshness of island life, alongside themes of loss, solitude, and the connection to the sea. The opening of the novel sets the scene on the island of Yeu, describing its desolate landscapes and the solitary figure of Damase Valmineau in his humble abode. We learn about his past as a once-great fisher and how grief from losing his sons and wife has led him to a life of despair and isolation, prompting him to fish outside the law. As he begins his day, we are introduced to two other key characters: Professor Lemarquier and his daughter Madeleine, who arrive on the island after a long absence. The contrasting lives of the characters hint at potential interactions that may bridge their disparate worlds, emphasizing the themes of community, nature, and redemption that are likely to unfold as the story progresses.
