Énorme coup de coeur pour ce roman gothique à l'ambiance crasseuse du sel de la mer et de ses légendes. J'ai aimé la protagoniste Miren et toutes les personnes qui peuplent son périple. L'ouvrage est divisé en deux et la seconde partie ralenti légèrement le souffle du texte mais pas au point où on s'ennuie. Je lirais avec plaisir d'autres œuvres de l'autrice.
