SYNOPSIS
November 2021: an inflatable dinghy carrying migrants from France to the UK capsizes in the Channel, causing the deaths of 27 people on board. How and why did it happen?
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 Delecroix’s fictional account 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. Why should she be more responsible than the sea, than the war, than the crises behind these tragedies?
A shocking, moral tale of our times, Small Boat reminds us of the power of fiction to illuminate our darkest crimes.

REVIEWS
Desconfortável, mas necessário
Sara
Small Boat não é uma leitura fácil... Este livro acompanha uma personagem que toma uma decisão que leva à morte de várias pessoas, e o mais assustador é que não vê nada de errado nisso. O que mais me marcou foi exatamente isso: a forma como o livro nos obriga a olhar para estas situações de outro ângulo. Não só para a personagem, mas para nós enquanto sociedade. Porque é muito fácil apontar o dedo… mas até que ponto também não somos um pouco cúmplices, mesmo que só pela indiferença? Há aqui muito sobre moralidade, sobre como pessoas “normais” podem fazer coisas horríveis sem sequer questionar. E isso é desconfortável, mas é mesmo esse o objetivo. Sente-se também um lado mais filosófico ao longo da história, mas sem ser pesado ou difícil de acompanhar. Está tudo ali de forma simples, mas com muito peso. É um livro curto, mas deixa um impacto enorme.
Um livro que não deixa ninguém indiferente
Paula Gonçalves
Um romance curto, mas intenso, que aborda a tragédia real de um barco de migrantes que naufragou no Canal da Mancha em 2021. O livro é uma reflexão moral sobre a responsabilidade individual e coletiva perante crises humanas, e foi finalista do International Booker Prize 2025.
