The stunning novel set during World War One from Michael Morpurgo,
the nation's favourite storyteller and multi-million copy
bestseller. May, 1915. Alfie and his fisherman father find a girl
on an uninhabited island in the Scillies - injured, thirsty,
lost... and with absolutely no memory of who she is, or how she
came to be there. She can say only one word: Lucy. Where has she
come from? Is she a mermaid, the victim of a German U-boat, or even
- as some islanders suggest - a German spy...? Only one thing is
for sure: she loves music and moonlight, and it is when she listens
to the gramophone that the glimmers of the girl she once was begin
to appear. WW1 is raging, suspicion and fear are growing, and Alfie
and Lucy are ever more under threat. But as we begin to see the
story of Merry, a girl boarding a great ship for a perilous journey
across the ocean, another melody enters the great symphony - and
the music begins to resolve... A beautiful tour de force of family,
love, war and forgiveness, this is a major new novel from the
author of PRIVATE PEACEFUL - in which what was once lost may
sometimes be found, washed up again on the shore...
