About this Event
Rosebud Bookshop - Political Fiction Book Club - Small Boat by Vincent Delecroix
Join Ana (@epilogue.book.girl) to discuss Small Boat which was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and a Dua Lipa monthly book club pick.
In November 2021, an inflatable dinghy carrying migrants from France to the United Kingdom capsized in the Channel causing the death of 27 people on board. Despite receiving numerous calls for help, the French authorities wrongly told the migrants they were in British waters and had to call the British authorities for help. By the time rescue vessels arrived on the scene, all but two of the migrants had died. The narrator of the events is the woman who took the calls. Accused of failing in her duty, she refuses to be held more responsible than others for this disaster.
