Publisher's Synopsis
A poetic novel, 'Ultramarine' pushes us to the very edges of the narrative genre. Narrated in the first person by a female captain, the only woman amongst the crew of a transatlantic ship, Ultramarine reflects on the fears, strengths, and insecurities of female authority. In a ghostly, almost dream-like, atmosphere, the captain agrees to let the crew take a dip in the middle of the ocean, breaking one of her own rules. Something changes during that unprecedented swim. A simple business trip turned into a true adventure.
