Voor de fans van Kristin Hannah, Anthony Doerr en Elizabeth Jane Howard. In het interbellum groeien de drie Seagravekinderen – Cristabel, Florence en Digby – op aan de kust van Dorset. Hun jeugd speelt zich af in de decadente jaren na de Eerste Wereldoorlog, als het voortbestaan van de Engelse aristocratie op losse schroeven komt te staan. Verwaarloosd door hun ouders en geïsoleerd van de buitenwereld vertrouwen de drie vooral op elkaar en genieten ze van hun gezamenlijke avonturen. Als er op het nabijgelegen strand een walvis aanspoelt, vormt dit voor de kinderen een spannend spel.

In una notte di tempesta, una balena si arena sulle rive della tenuta di Chilcombe nel Dorset. Per legge, tutti i relitti appartengono al re, ma la dodicenne Cristabel Seagrave ha altri piani. È determinata a rivendicarla come sua e a utilizzare le ossa del cetaceo per costruire un teatro sulla spiaggia. Un palcoscenico per tutti i libri che ha letto negli anni, di nascosto, nella polverosa biblioteca di famiglia; libri che non hanno mai per protagoniste ragazze come lei. Ora però è arrivato il momento che le cose cambino.

Das Erfolgsdebüt aus England. Dorset an der Küste Englands, 1928: In einer stürmischen Nacht wird ein Blauwal angespült. Nach dem Gesetz gehört alles Strandgut dem König – doch die zwölfjährige Cristabel Seagrave hat eigene Pläne. Sie ist wild entschlossen, aus den Walknochen ein Theater am Strand zu errichten. Eine Bühne für all die Geschichten, die sie heimlich in der staubigen Familienbibliothek gelesen oder denen sie im Verborgenen gelauscht hat. Geschichten, die nicht für ihre Ohren bestimmt sind und in denen Mädchen wie sie keine Rolle spielen. Doch nun ist Cristabels Zeit gekommen.

Cristabel Seagrave has always wanted her life to be a story, but there are no girls in the books in her dusty family library. For an unwanted orphan who grows into an unmarriageable young woman, there is no place at all for her in a traditional English manor. But from the day that a whale washes up on the beach at the Chilcombe estate in Dorset, and 12-year-old Cristabel plants her flag and claims it as her own, she is determined to do things differently.

One blustery night in 1928, a whale washes up on the shores of the English Channel. By law, it belongs to the King, but twelve-year-old orphan Cristabel Seagrave has other plans. She and the rest of the household—her sister, Flossie; her brother, Digby, long-awaited heir to Chilcombe manor; Maudie Kitcat, kitchen maid; Taras, visiting artist—build a theatre from the beast’s skeletal rib cage. Within the Whalebone Theatre, Cristabel can escape her feckless stepparents and brisk governesses, and her imagination comes to life.
