An enquiring and possibly over-educated mind, they've been described as \"the politest contrarian.\" Though everyone believes they're tall, they're not. Likewise, they don't always dress in all-black. (Chances are, though, that they're in black.) Their stories are often called things like quiet, evocative, or liminal; things are rather dark and generally take place by an ocean. Inspired by folklore, theatre, and romantic and literary fiction, Camille is always playing with expectations. Just a little bit! Once you explore the depths with them, you may not want to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver-Heber Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978713399411,"sku":"9.78165E+12","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_e2c80523-8fb5-473a-8438-1b4a0610af1b.jpg?v=1760534016","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/unfair-winds-9781648395482","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
