Product Description

The Unknown Sea recounts the fate of the Revolu family after its patriarch commits suicide due to financial ruin. Oscar Revolu's death throws his family, who were previously set to live successful and happy lives, into humiliation and misery. His wife Lucienne is left to maintain some sort of order at the estate without the assistance of their sons—Julien becomes a neurotic loner, and Denis is plagued by the phantom of his father's death even as he approaches adulthood.
