From The New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Came Home comes a historical novel inspired by true events, and the extraordinary female lighthouse keepers of the past two hundred years.

“They call me a heroine, but I am not deserving of such accolades. I am just an ordinary young woman who did her duty.”

1838: Northumberland, England. Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands has been Grace Darling’s home for all of her twenty-two years. When she and her father rescue shipwreck survivors in a furious storm, Grace becomes celebrated throughout England, the subject of poems, ballads, and plays. But far more precious than her unsought fame is the friendship that develops between Grace and a visiting artist. Just as George Emmerson captures Grace with his brushes, she in turn captures his heart.

1938: Newport, Rhode Island. Nineteen-years-old and pregnant, Matilda Emmerson has been sent away from Ireland in disgrace. She is to stay with Harriet, a reclusive relative and assistant lighthouse keeper, until her baby is born. A discarded, half-finished portrait opens a window into Matilda’s family history. As a deadly hurricane approaches, two women, living a century apart, will be linked forever by their instinctive acts of courage and love.

A very interesting story about the lifestyle of the people who choose to be a Lighthouse Keeper. It was like being on a tour to see their routine and their challenges. It is also a story of relationships and different families dynamics, especially between mothers and daughters. Easy to listen too and it captured my attention quickly and kept it right till the end. I will likely go back and listen to it again. I definitely would recommend this book as a good choice to read or listen to.

I bought this book mostly because I love Imogen Church. I didn’t know anything about the author or the story, or genre for that matter.
I have never cried or laughed like this with any other book.
The only bad thing is that it’s over.
Loved it.

Astonishing
