En mer, Prix Médicis Étranger 2013 and first novel by the journalist Toine Heijmans, tells the story of Donald, who left to explore the North sea alone on his sailboat for three months. His 7-year-old daughter joins him for the last few days of the trip and disappears during a violent storm. With writing that lashes and hypnotizes like the storm, the author plunges us into the panic-stricken mind of a man swinging between dream and reality, creating an intolerably tense maritime huis clos.
