«L'année où on a repeint la barque» is the young adult novel by Jill Paton Walsh, published by L'École des Loisirs in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Paul and Madge spend their summers in Cornwall with their grandmother. When Madge begins to understand the adults' silences, a family secret comes to light and changes what they thought they knew. A measured narrative about identity and family bonds, set against the coast.
This novel was published in French in 1990 in the Médium poche collection by L'École des Loisirs. The cover reproduces in watercolour a small yellow-sailed boat on a rough sea.
For young readers who enjoy personal discoveries, family secrets and summers by the sea.
