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.
