Stevie, que ficou viúva recentemente, sabe que tem de contar a verdade à família, mas o passado é complicado e difícil de desenredar. Michael deixou o seu diário esquecido numa caixa de sapatos, à espera da sua partida iminente para o hospital. Nunca teve jeito para pôr os acontecimentos em palavras, sente-se mais à vontade com os estalidos do código Morse. Contudo Anna, uma jovem auxiliar de acção médica, tem a paciência e a ternura para o convencer a contar a sua história. E assim começa. Comovente e de leitura compulsiva, esta é a história inesquecível de Stevie e Michael, amantes vulgares, separados pelos acontecimentos invulgares da guerra.
Dentro da Baleia - Por vezes demoramos a vida inteira a encontrar as palavras certas.
