Reviews
"In this poetically written debut novel, Mariette Navarro successfully gets to the writing of metaphysical vertigo." Le Monde. "The story is slow and strong, like a marine animal moving forward on the lock-out while sounding the invisible [...]. The story treads carefully between realism and a fantastic world. It will land on its feet at final with such elegance." Le Figaro
