Summary
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…

Beautiful book. Deeply moving. Started listening in the car with my son and then could not stop. One of Michael Morpurgo’s best. Just beautiful and moving

Sweet and compelling
It may have been written for children but this 65 year old loved it. Sweet story with sad parts and always compelling.

This is such a moving book
I loved this book. I definitely recommend it. In fact all of Michael Morpurgos books are good. Most of them have a mix of sad and happy which I like. The narrators were also really good.

Fabulous book, couldn't stop listening
Set in the Scilly Isles during WWI. It shows the ignorance of the people with regard to the Germans. The fear of the unknown when a little girl who cannot speak is found on one of the uninhabited islands.
