Description
Silver's story begins with an unexpected arrival at the Cape Wrath lighthouse. She is taken in by Mr. Pew, the keeper, who shares with her a world of myth and mystery through the art of storytelling. As Silver listens, she uncovers a life that is both familiar and strange. Through Mr. Pew's tales, Silver discovers a complex web of stories and experiences that lead her to explore the depths of her own heart and mind. With each new revelation, the boundaries between reality and myth begin to blur. This is a story about the power of storytelling to shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Jeanette Winterson's lyrical prose brings this magical tale to life, inviting readers into the secret recesses of their own hearts and minds.
