A dramatic tension that leads to an end ... unexpected.

Peter, the narrator of this short novel is invited by his brother to spend a few days at sea on his sailboat. John is in a relationship with Jeanne, Pierre comes with its Scandinavian partner, Lone.
From the beginning, and even before, to the point of appointment, the atmosphere is heavy, tense. The discomfort is latent, environmental, physically but psychologically as for the characters.
Was it really a good idea, these few days of vacation in the promiscuity of a small space, when we learn that Jeanne is actually the former girlfriend of Peter?

Amazing closed-door off (yet) in the Mediterranean, on a sailboat that offers very little intimate space, the tension is omnipresent, the stifling heat, as what is played between the two couples, both brothers, Pierre and Jeanne ... The island of Capri (which was not then in the lead "it's over") is it not the sign of what is at stake, what was once played? Innocuous objects, and in particular cap, take an importance in the narrative stripped if we sense what is tied, it is nevertheless struck by the unexpected ending.

A solar novel in so few pages is a "great novel" marking, oppressive, in which an overwhelming light, reveals the most intimate of inevitable seduction game.
