Synopsis "Migrations: A Novel "

* INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER *"Visceral and haunting" (New York Times Book Review) - "Hopeful" (Washington Post) - "Powerful" (Los Angeles Times) - "Thrilling" (TIME) - "Tantalizingly beautiful" (Elle) - "Suspenseful, atmospheric" (Vogue) - "Aching and poignant" (Guardian) - "Gripping" (The Economist) Franny Stone has always been the kind of woman who is able to love but unable to stay. Leaving behind everything but her research gear, she arrives in Greenland with a singular purpose: to follow the last Arctic terns in the world on what might be their final migration to Antarctica. Franny talks her way onto a fishing boat, and she and the crew set sail, traveling ever further from shore and safety. But as Franny's history begins to unspool--a passionate love affair, an absent family, a devastating crime--it becomes clear that she is chasing more than just the birds. When Franny's dark secrets catch up with her, how much is she willing to risk for one more chance at redemption? Epic and intimate, heartbreaking and galvanizing, Charlotte McConaghy's Migrations is an ode to a disappearing world and a breathtaking page-turner about the possibility of hope against all odds.

Charlotte McConaghy (1988) es una novelista australiana cuya obra se mueve con soltura entre la ficción literaria y el nature writing, con un pulso narrativo que combina tensión emocional y conciencia ecológica. Nacida en Australia y criada en distintos países, esa vida nómada se filtra en sus historias, donde los paisajes extremos no son decorado sino motor del conflicto. Su prosa es contenida, directa y muy visual, con personajes marcados por la pérdida, el silencio y una relación ambigua —a veces brutal— con la naturaleza.

Es autora de novelas ampliamente reconocidas como Migrations (publicada también como The Last Migration), Once There Were Wolves y Wild Dark Shore, todas verificablemente suyas. En ellas explora temas como el colapso ambiental, la culpa, el duelo y la supervivencia, sin caer en el panfleto ni en el melodrama. McConaghy escribe como quien camina sobre hielo fino: con precisión, riesgo y una intensidad que no pide permiso.
