Dangerous game

Go to Naples, past the castle.
Peter and Lone expect. In vain. There Castel dell'Ovo and Castel Nuovo.
Bad start for this cruise, so.
The novel is very short, it does not even count a hundred pages. The plot develops over a few days. There is no real history. No. The interest of the book is elsewhere. In the atmosphere, in the unspoken.
From the beginning, lambiguïté settled: the confusion between the two castles with very similar names. The boat is called "Come back." Jeanne is the companion of John. But first, she loved Peter, the brother of John. Pierre came with Lone. Yet he has not forgotten Jeanne. It includes: "You expect? "Instead of" You hear me? ". On a cap, he discovers with amazement the words "Vendée Globe". He had always believed that it was "Wind globes."
Four characters confined in a closed session in the middle of the marine immensity. The tension mounts. It is palpable, similar to the storm threat, the stifling heat, the sea which attracts the cool, while it has a population of jellyfish, the boat whose engine balks.
The author focuses on the senses. All are awakened, all are asked: "the smell (...) both sweet and maritime", "limestone thorns () tender and rough," "the soft pink hats that looked very soft to touch but were similar to repugnant gelatinized confectionery "(jellyfish)," the clatter of halyards (...) deconstructed music and metal. "
The names of the characters, so simple in appearance, seem to me, on the contrary, very revealing. Peter and John are brothers enemies, as in the novel by Maupassant, Jean and Jeanne complement, Lone is sidelining of this love triangle (alone), she does not speak French well, is believed to silly, so she wrote a thesis.
The single narrator is Peter. It presents things as he sees them, seem to see them, wants them. It is wrong, it is handled. The denouement is unexpected, but makes sense.
I enjoyed reading this.
