I bought this book, first seduced by its title, cover, and then very quickly by his summary ... The first pages have surprised me. I expected to have a realistic story and immersed in a crazy story, poetic and philosophical, terribly well written, with the sea as background, always present, a story full of color and originality, a world in which good slip time of a book, book I also read in a day. Delight to dive into the life of these endearing creatures and want to find such a pension one day facing the sea!
