BOOK
I
found this book a fabulous and captivating read. A new author to me
and a great find.
This book is from the acclaimed author of "Voyageurs" and "The Sea Road". It will appeal to readers of historical fiction and fans of Elphinstone. The author has published eight novels and is firmly established as a writer of superb historical fiction.May, 1831, and on a tiny island off the Isle of Man, a lighthouse provides a harsh living for an unusual family. Lucy and Diya, husbandless and with three children between them, watch over the ancienmodernising the nation's lighthouses, and Ellan Bride - and the future of the family - are under threat. When two surveyors arrive to assess the light, tension escalates to danger point.
Sounds interesting. I'm reading Hollinghurst's The Stranger's Child...am unimpressed so far but will persevere.
ReplyDeleteI read this recently and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed her novel The Sea Road even more!
ReplyDeleteCrafty Green Poet:I have bought a copy of Sea Road waiting for time to read it but with your recommendation maybe I'll read it sooner rather than later now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYvonne; So much to read so little time but do report back when you have finished it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't enjoy The Stranger's Child chiefly because it was so repetitive and contained very little plot. Will be putting that one in the charity shop.
ReplyDeleteYvonne: Haven't read that one and with your comments probably won't!
