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.
