I think it was Françoise who recommended this book to me,
Ocean Sea, by
Alessandro Baricco. It's a little gem of a book - really weird, set in a strange world, more like a fairy tale. Very poetic, but compulsive reading all the same, and full of a whacky kind of humour, and some savage, dramatic moments.
He is better known for his short novel,
Silk, much more serious, but equally mesmerizing.
