Face au vent

by Jim Lynch, Jean Esch (translator)

Dans la famille Johannssen, le grand-père dessine les voiliers, le père les construit, la mère, admiratrice d'Einstein, étudie leur trajectoire. Par tous les temps, le dimanche est synonyme de sortie en mer.

Les deux frères, Bernard et Josh, s'entraînent avec passion, sous la bruyante houlette paternelle. Ruby, la cadette, écoute à peine. C'est inutile : elle semble commander au vent. Mais lorsqu'un jour elle décide d'abandonner une carrière de championne toute tracée, la famille se disloque et s'éparpille.

Douze ans plus tard, une nouvelle course sera l'occasion de retrouvailles aussi attendues que risquées.
