And then we will have seen the sea is the fourth work in the “Chronicles of the square square”, a series of stories by Tristan Saule, the pen name of Grégoire Courtois, taking place in Monzelle, a fictional French town.
If the previous volumes of this saga focused on a social worker, a nurse and an isolated man, it is the eventful daily life of Sabrina which this time is at the heart of the novel. Holding her little family and the kindergarten class for which she is responsible at arm’s length, the young woman is constantly on the verge of exhaustion.
We discover a touching character, fundamentally human, who perfectly embodies all these women who wear themselves out too much taking care of others. Sabrina’s everyday life will be turned upside down by meeting a Ukrainian refugee, Iryna. And by the two mysterious men who now prowl the popular neighborhood.
Taking advantage of the sober but fair style of Tristan Saule, And then we will have seen the sea transports us into a universe where social threats multiply and where everything worries us. Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and the presidential election in France, the outlines of a dark novel emerge, certainly, but above all social and generously connected to current events. A work that is both thrilling and enlightening and highlights the heroines of invisible work.
