Ultramarine by Mariette Navarro (2025, Trade Paperback)

In this brilliant psychological thriller, a female captain commanding a cargo ship in the Atlantic makes an uncharacteristic concession: she cuts the engines to let her all-male crew swim in the open ocean. But when the men climb back on board, the head count has changed. They left with twenty; they return with twenty-one.

The official English translation of the original French text from master of new age magical realism, Mariette Navarro.
