On the northwest coast of France, just around the corner from the English Channel, is the little town of Locmariaquer (pronounced "loc-maria-care"). The inhabitants of this town have a special relationship to the world, for it is their efforts that maintain the supply of the famous Belon oysters, called les plates ("the flat ones"). A vivid account of the cultivation of Belon oysters and an excursion into the myths, legends, and rich, vibrant history of Brittany and its extraordinary people, The Oysters of Locmariaquer is also an unforgettable journey to the heart of a fascinating culture and the enthralling, accumulating drama of a unique devotion.

reviewed Oysters of Locmariaquer on October 03, 2010 Oysters of Locmariaquer
An extraordinary book that finds the entire universe in an oyster shell. Suffused with a sense of the dignity of labor, the complexity of human relationships to each other and to a place, and the mysteries of the natural world, which science explains and explains and makes more mysterious than ever. Poetic and surprising. Highest possible recommendation.
