Small Boat
A Channel drowning, and the operator who took the calls, told largely as her own defence.
Vincent Delecroix builds a short novel from a real event: the drowning of twenty-seven people in the Channel in 2021, and the French radio operator who took the distress calls and did not send help. It is told largely in her defence of herself, which is what makes it unbearable.

This is a novel that is written from the perspective of a rescue boat dispatcher who fails to dispatch a rescue team for a group of migrants who subsequently sink to their deaths. This book will hopefully disturb you and make you question why you feel so disturbed. It is a short book that is nevertheless full of horror and rage and guilt.
