sandraisbooked 's review for:

Les Grandes Marées by Jacques Poulin
4.0

This seriously had the potential of receiving five stars but I'll settle for four.

I like, borderline love, stories with no plots but the ending to this story was so abrupt ... not even anti-climatic ... but leading to nowhere (literally).

I also liked that the characters are characterized by their traits.

Another aspect I liked was the references to modern day objects, comics, dictionaries, etc contrasted to an old fashioned world like the Island its set in. I wish was on the Île Madame Island but that's besides the point.

Overall, this book was a still fast pace and an eccentric read.
