«L'Herbe d'or» is the novel by Pierre-Jakez Hélias, published by Julliard in paperback (244 pages, in French).
A tidal wave devastates a small port on the Breton coast at the beginning of the twentieth century. Only the fishing boat L'Herbe d'Or, helmed by a skipper considered mad, withstands the storm. On land, the catastrophe awakens ghosts and superstitions; a mountain peasant woman clings to her certainties.
The novel was published in 1982.
For readers of French fiction interested in Breton folklore.
