Mai 1915. Sur une île déserte de l'archipel des Scilly, un pêcheur et son fils découvrent une jeune fille blessée et hagarde, à moitié morte de faim et de soif. Elle ne parvient à prononcer qu'un seul mot : Lucy. D'où vient-elle ? Est-elle une sirène, ou plutôt, comme le laisse entendre la rumeur, une espionne au service des Allemands ?
De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, le Lusitania, l'un des plus rapides et splendides paquebots de son temps, quitte le port de New York. À son bord, la jeune Merry, accompagnée de sa mère, s'apprête à rejoindre son père blessé sur le front et hospitalisé en Angleterre...

L'histoire du Lusitania, torpillé pendant la Première Guerre mondiale et dont le destin tragique fait écho à celui du Titanic, a inspiré l'auteur de Cheval de guerre et du Royaume de Kensuké.

Un grand roman, chargé de souffle et d'émotion, par Michael Morpurgo.

 This is a landmark new novel form the nation's favourite storyteller, set in the unique landscape of the Camargue in the South of France during WW2. There, a young autistic boy lives on his parents' farm among the salt flats, and the flamingos that live there. There are lots of things he doesn't understand: but he does know how to heal animals. He loves routine, and music too: and every week he goes to market with his mother, to ride his special horse on the town carousel.

 But then the Germans come, with their guns, and take the town. A soldier shoots a flamingo from the sky, and it falls to earth terribly injured. And even worse is to come: the carousel is damaged, the horses broken. For this vulnerable boy, everything is falling apart.

 Only there's a kind sergeant among the Germans - a man with a young boy of his own at home, a man who trained as a carpenter. Between them, perhaps boy and man can mend what has been broken - and maybe even the whole town.
