'A profoundly moving and rich historical story wrapped up in a contemporary murder mystery' ROSIE ANDREWS, author of THE LEVIATHAN
When Lucy arrives at her sister's house in a wild panic, she doesn't find the solace she's desperately seeking - only an abandoned house, in a town steeped in mystery.
As Lucy searches for her sister, instead she uncovers tales of missing men. Stories of women drowned just off the coast two hundred years before. Rumours of their voices on the waves.
Can the voices lead Lucy to her sister - or are they trying to pull them both under?

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'I gulped THE SIRENS down like it was water... It's a novel about the sea and the strength of women, about love and sisterhood, and an anger that's wild and ferocious and unstoppable. Like the sea, it is by turns bleak and violent, but also beautiful and magnificent. It made me cry in public and not care' Jennifer Saint
