L'AUTEUR An engineer by training,
Jacques Grieu , a Norman
from
Le Havre, is an arts amateur.
He always wrote narratives and
poems, on his pupil's exercise
books, on paper tablecloths in
restaurants or articles in
magazines. It was already the
case at 16, when he was a
resident scholar in the
Chamonix valley. Then later,
when he was a mountain
infantryman.
But it is offshore, while
sailing during numerous
regatta throughout Europe,
that he wanted to satisfy his
competitive spirit. And, more
calmly, he cruises between
Belle-Ile and the Golfe du
Morbihan for the last 50 years.
He nevertheless had to wait
for retirement to find the
time to publish … The father
of 3 children and 8 times
grandfather, he continues to
practice ski with his family.
He is also an amateur of golf,
chess and painting.

Agathe de Port-Anna, a fair-haired woman, is sitting in her usual café, facing the port of Vannes. Lost in melancholy, absent-mindedly, she keeps stirring her spoon in her cup of coffee. Her sentimental life is a heap of ruins.
Across her, a large mirror on the wall reflects her gorgeous image. Nothing unusual. Except maybe that this image, contrary to the model, is not sitting, but standing. Witchcraft ?
It is the beginning of a strange story. Maybe a devilish one. The red moon could be involved in it, some will say. A mystery, the twists and turns of which let the reader join in successive journeys to Vannes and Paris and back, from sea to city, from nature to culture, inside two different ways of life. Two lives, two women, in two widely opposite settings. Those take an important place in this book interspersed with odd, sometimes fiendish questions.
A pregnant story, the enigma of which looks eventually to be solved, in the last pages Yet under the omnipresent moonlight, can one actually be so sure about that?
