Biography
Adriana Salem (1903–1976) captured the ebb and flow of coastal Normandy in lyrical essays and novels, giving voice to fishermen, gardeners, and children played by the wind.
Her writing celebrated the sea-swept parish life she loved, a sentiment that continues to ripple through the Varengeville-Sur-Mer Churchyard where she rests.
