I did not know this author. No more than other Scandinavian authors of the rest. Third of the novel, I understood the story of revenge instigated by the victims "innocent" of a road accident. It must be said that this theme of revenge is as old as the world especially that of white snow disaster survivors who find redemption in the performance and the satisfaction of their basest instincts. So too easy, too predictable. Some digressions too; the author embroiders to tell his story. Too long in my opinion. One would have happened! Certainly the passages concerning sequestration Mereete are pungent and the idea of the decompression chamber / recompression, interesting and innovative, but it is not enough to save the book. Too bad. He received the Grand Prize of the readers of Elle, bed is on the cover? It is just that!
