Sercq, as its islanders call it, is a tiny feudal land of forty farm holdings fixed in Elizabethan times. Around 1800 a quarrel between Paul Martel and the island, a fight in the dark and a raising of the ancient Clameur set the scene for the narrator’s boyhood with Carette, a girl of the Carré family, and their later trials at sea and on shore.
