coastlinersI’ve started to read Coastliners by Joanne Harris, a novel about life on the tiny Breton island of Le Devin. After the death of her mother Mado has returned to the island to her father’s house. It has been ten years since she lived there and she finds her home threatened both by the tides and a local entrepreneur.  Her father is not welcoming. She finds the house looking derelict and deserted. On entering she sees a photograph of her father, GrosJean, her sister Adrienne and herself:

My face had been cut out of the picture – clumsily with scissors – so that only GrosJean and Adrienne remained, she with her arm resting lightly on his. My father was smiling at her over the space where I had been.
