The Oysters of Locmariaquer | Eleanor Clark

2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read

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.

Haul from the Bryan Mawr back in my parents‘ old neighborhood. We‘re going to Brittany in July; the Locmariaquer book is to learn more about the region.

Caterina Oh I love Being Christian! I'm rereading it right now for my church's Bible study. It's one of my favorite little books on Christianity. ❤️ 5y

TimSpalding @Caterina Good. I'm looking forward. Williams has a talent for something rare among theologians and churchmen—BREVITY! 5y

The Oysters of Locmariaquer | Eleanor Clark

Shellfish are animals, aren't they? Yes, they are. And so this may be my favorite book with an animal on the cover. Well before everybody started seeing the world in a single ingredient (Salt, Cod, Oranges, Spice, Coffee, Bananas, you name it), Eleanor Clark saw centuries of Brittany's tradition in the cultivation of Belon oysters. Work, weather, story, song, place, personality, rivers and tides -- all here, all so beautiful. #funfridayphoto

SusanInTiburon @Zelma I was dubious at first, too. 😄 8y
