"ONLY THE SEA WILL REMEMBER" - Isabelle AUTISSIER

"Only the Sea Will Remember" is a novel by Isabelle Autissier that tells the story of Peter March, a family man and experienced sailor, who decides to take part in a solo round-the-world race in 1969. The story takes place in the late 1960s and follows Peter March on his adventure aboard his revolutionary trimaran, Sailahead, which he built himself.

However, faced with the challenges and disappointments of the race, Peter March begins to falsify his positions, creating one of the most fascinating lies in the history of sailing. The novel explores Peter's inner turmoil, his clash with the ocean, and his gradual descent into madness.

Isabelle Autissier, as an experienced navigator, brings a realistic and human depth to this story inspired by true events, notably the story of Donald Crowhurst (Golden Globe Race 1968-1969 - First solo, non-stop round-the-world race known for having revealed Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Bernard Moitessier)
