Description
A tiny island off the Isle of Man holds a harsh but vital living for an unusual family. Lucy and Diya, with three children between them, watch over the ancient lighthouse on Ellan Bride. However, their way of life is under threat as modernisation efforts take hold. The arrival of two surveyors to assess the light adds tension to the situation, putting the family's future at risk. As the stakes escalate, the fate of Ellan Bride and its inhabitants hangs in the balance. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century lighthouse life, this novel explores the challenges faced by those living on the edge of society.
