Otimači plaže

Le Devine is such a small island that it is not marked on maps between France and England. The piece of land, only a few kilometers long, is nevertheless, like all islands in the world, distinctive, colorful and special; it has a character, its own dialect, food, customs and clothing, and has always been divided by the quarrels of two rival villages, La Houssiniere and Les Salants; quarrels over fishing and building rights, land, even those so ancient whose causes everyone has already forgotten. And the most important cause of the quarrels is Les Immortelles, a small sandy beach, the only safe place on the island for swimming, protected from the sea currents, the cause of the prosperity of the inhabitants of La Houssiniere and the misery of those from Les Salants. It is Las Salants that is the home of the passionate, stubborn Mado who will return from the mainland after ten years to resolve her personal family dramas and at the same time try to save her place from the decline caused by local quarrels, unfavorable tides and the games of the island's powerful people. With the help of Flynn, a charismatic stranger with a mysterious past, she will try to convince the eccentric and change-averse residents of Les Salants that happiness is fleeting and that it can turn its back on the rich and successful Brismand and smile at them if they dare to challenge it. The Croatian translation by Petra Potočnik in the original art by Stuart Haygarth brings us the new voice of Joanna Harris.
