Gaspésie, 1934. Les jumelles Simone et Madeleine vivent à l’Anse-à-Lajoie, un village de pêcheurs tout près de Percé. Pour ces jeunes femmes mariées à des hommes de la mer, la vie est ponctuée des marées et de la préparation des morues pêchées par leurs époux, Tom et Freddy, sur la barge héritée par Simone à la mort de leurs parents, quatre ans plus tôt. Une existence tranquille, prévisible, entourée de leurs grands-parents, de leur frère Jacquelin, curé à Gaspé et de leur soeur cadette, Clémence, établie à Rimouski.

La trilogie s’achève alors que Clémence, cadette des sœurs Gérard, s’installe au village de l’Anse-à-Lajoie. Ce ne sera que temporaire, le temps de faire le point dans sa vie. Du moins, c’est ce qu’elle espère… Lorsque Jacquelin, son frère aîné et curé du village, l’oblige à occuper un poste d’institutrice à l’école, elle s’y résigne la mort dans l’âme. Toutefois, elle n’est pas la seule à se remettre en question: Jacquelin, troublé dans sa foi, provoque, de son côté, quelques remous.

Simone et son mari Tom n’ont toujours pas pardonné à Madeleine l’événement terrible qui a littéralement brisé leur famille; la présence de leurs deux filles ne suffit plus à combler le vide qui les habite depuis ce jour fatidique de juin 1934. Même si elle essaie de se convaincre que sa jumelle n’existe plus pour elle, tous ces tracas minent la jeune femme, d’autant plus que son neveu Arthur la perturbe bien davantage qu’elle ose l’avouer.
