Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Small Boat by Vincent Delecroix. In November 2021, tragedy struck the English Channel when an inflatable dinghy carrying migrants from France to the UK capsized, claiming 27 lives. Despite repeated calls for help, French authorities mistakenly insisted the vessel was in British waters, deflecting responsibility. By the time rescue teams arrived nearly three hours later, only two people had survived, marking the deadliest incident of its kind in the Channel’s history. Small Boat offers a haunting fictional retelling from the perspective of the French navy officer who answered those calls. As she faces accusations of negligence, she grapples with guilt, deflection, and the crushing weight of systemic failure. Refusing to bear the blame alone, she confronts the broader forces behind the disaster: bureaucracy, indifference, and the politics of migration.
Vincent Delecroix’s powerful novel is a searing exploration of moral responsibility and the fragile line between duty and denial. It’s a story that asks: when faced with suffering, who do we become?
