How embarrassing! I've got The Starless Sea (wonderful title) on my shelf, I've read it from cover to cover, but I can hardly remember anything about it, especially not a character named Mirabel. As a name, I feel a bit uneasy about it - what if a Mirabel person was bland and beige and forgettable? And, isn't there a man called Mirabel in some or other 18th century comedy? Though it may well have been his ln, of course...
