Franny Stone has always been a wanderer. By following the ocean's tides and the birds that soar above, she can forget the losses that have haunted her life. But when the wild she loves begins to disappear, Franny can no longer wander without a destination. She arrives in remote Greenland with one purpose: to find the world's last flock of Arctic terns and track their final migration. She convinces Ennis Malone, captain of the Saghani, to take her onboard, winning over his eccentric crew with promises that the birds will lead them to fish.

As the Saghani fights its way south, Franny's dark history begins to unspool. Battered by night terrors, accumulating a pile of unsent letters, and obsessed with pursuing the terns at any cost, Franny is full of secrets. When her quest threatens the safety of the entire crew, Franny must ask herself what she is really running toward-and running from.

Propelled by a narrator as fierce and fragile as the terns she is following, Charlotte McConaghy's "Migrations" is both an ode to our threatened world and a breathtaking page-turner about the lengths we will go for the people we love. (Verlagstext)

 

Franny hat ihr ganzes Leben an der Küste verbracht und die Vögel beobachtet. Doch als die Zugvögel ausbleiben, beschließt die junge Ornithologin den letzten Küstenseeschwalben zu folgen und macht sich auf den Weg in die Antarktis.
