I loved this book. Absolutely loved it.
I read it while I was away from home for a few days and I stayed awake far too long one night as I couldn’t put it down. And suffered for it the following day. But it was worth it.
This is historical faction at its best.
I love the fact that before the prologue there is instead ‘Historian’s note’ and it gives background information to allow for context in the story.
It tells the story of a shy, new, light house keeper and their friendship with a local girl that grows into something more.
There is an epilogue –
This of course shows them about a year after the beginning of the story living their life and generally getting on with it. And happy.
