Baie Saint-Paul
by Saëz, Jean-Manuel
Description
When John Mac Dolan, a long time ago, arrived in Shortfalls, a small town on the edge of the Yukon, no one asked him who he was or where he came from. He was one of the many adventurers who made the reputation of this region of Canada since the Gold Rush and for whom the inhabitants show no curiosity.
It was not, however, the fortune he had come to seek.
As for what he found there, perhaps Camille Dorchamp, a Parisian air hostess, will find out when she receives a strange letter from the Sheriff of Shortfalls that will lead her on an unforeseen adventure?

Reviews
“ This novel is the story of never-digested guilt, perhaps wrongly felt guilt... A brilliant lawyer from Lyon suddenly disappears without leaving any clue, his children search for him in vain for many years. His daughter no longer believes in his existence, but his son keeps a thread of hope still alive inside him. One fine day, a letter arriving from a lost corner in the depths of the Canadian Yukon reaches them […] This story full of twists and turns, set in a world whose magic bathed my childhood reading, reminded me of Jack London […] This book definitely took me by the hand to bring me back to the lines I was already reading with passion when I was a teenager. (Débézed, mesimpressionsdelecture)
The descriptions of the landscapes are absolutely magnificent. The characters are endearing. (Babelio)
