What is Listen To The Moon about?

In May 1915, young Alfie and his father discover an injured, mute girl on an uninhabited island in the Scillies. She can only say 'Lucy' and has no memory of her past. As they care for her, the island community grows suspicious, fearing she might be a German spy. Amidst the backdrop of World War I, the story unfolds as they seek to uncover Lucy's true identity and confront the prejudices of their neighbours.
