I’m looking for a book I read in the early 2000s, it may have been older though. The book features a girl who ends up on a ship with an interesting crew of strangers who get stuck in the doldrums and each has to face a twisted version of their greatest desire, the cook has an obsession with catching a huge fish and eventually gets pulled of the boat and lost because of it. When they eventually escape and come back decades have passed which she doesn’t believe at first until she sees the size of a plant that was tiny when she left. Any suggestions would be appreciated, this has been driving me nuts for years now!
