A novel set in Le Havre's dockland slums.
Here Adele Vittel struggled to make a good life for her three illegitimate children.  Here she saw one become an embittered shrew--another, a vicious murderer. Here, too, she watched her grandson Jeannot grow to manhood, learning courage and the meaning of love. This three generation story is alive with a Gallic realism and humor that brighten the squalor of Le Havre's seaport slum.
