“Despite being deemed ugly, Océane is heartrendingly incandescent. Roch, the rebel, is the only one who sees her beauty. Faced with adults who are unable to help them, these two beings choose to define themselves in nature, where they are welcomed without judgment by animals both real and imagined. Stéfani Meunier’s style is delicate and impactful throughout this perfect mastery of a novel, with its stunning and risky denouement.”
