Oceaan van een zee

The sea feels almost like a character itself, symbolizing the fluidity of self. I'm curious how the author intended this to reflect the characters' inner journeys.

The narrative moved so smoothly, almost like waves. Was this a conscious choice to mirror the ocean's rhythm or just a happy coincidence?

The setting feels integral to the mood and themes, almost like a character. I wonder what drew Alessandro Baricco to this particular environment.
