The Long Flight Home
Summary
It is September 1940 - a year into the war - and as German bombs fall on Britain, fears grow of an impending invasion. Enemy fighter planes blacken the sky around the Epping Forest home of Susan Shepherd and her grandfather, Bertie. After losing her parents to influenza as a child, Susan found comfort in raising homing pigeons with Bertie. All her birds are extraordinary to Susan - loyal, intelligent, beautiful - but none more so than Duchess, who shares a special bond with Susan and an unusual curiosity about the human world. Thousands of miles away in Buxton, Maine, a young crop-duster pilot named Ollie Evans has decided to travel to Britain to join the Royal Air Force. His quest brings him to Epping and to the National Pigeon Service, where Susan is involved in a new, covert assignment. Codenamed Source Columba, the mission aims to air-drop hundreds of homing pigeons in German-occupied France. Many will not survive. Those that do make the journey home to England can convey crucial information on German troop movements - and help reclaim the skies from the Luftwaffe. The friendship between Ollie and Susan deepens as the mission date draws near. When Ollie's plane is downed behind enemy lines, both know how remote the chances of reunion must be. Yet Duchess's devotion and her singular sense of duty will become an unexpected lifeline.

El largo camino a casa
Summary
En septiembre de 1940, mientras las bombas alemanas caen sobre Gran Bretaña, la joven Susan y su abuelo Bertie hallan consuelo criando y entrenando palomas mensajeras que el Ejército usará para transmitir información sobre los movimientos de los nazis en la Francia ocupada. A miles de kilómetros, en Estados Unidos, un joven piloto llamado Ollie decide unirse a la RAF, la Real Fuerza Aérea británica, entrando así en contacto con el Servicio Nacional de Palomas, donde conoce a Susan. Tras hacerse inseparables, ambos serán seleccionados para formar parte de una misión secreta que puede llevar al país a la victoria. Sin embargo, cuando el avión de Ollie es derribado en líneas enemigas, Susan sabe que las posibilidades de reunirse de nuevo son remotas. Pero Duquesa, su querida y fiel paloma, demostrará a todo el mundo que nunca debemos perder la esperanza. Basada en la verdadera historia de la Operación Columba, ideada por Winston Churchill y en la que se usaron miles de palomas durante la guerra, El largo camino a casa es una fascinante y épica novela que homenajea a los seres anónimos que cambiaron el rumbo de la Historia. «Una novela fascinante.» (BookPage) «Una aventura irrepetible.» (Booklist) «Una historia encantadora inspirada en un episodio de la segunda guerra mundial.» (Historical Novel Society) Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
