I live in Spain, and I like this ancient lighthouses. There are about 190 lighthouses here. My favourite one is here - Finisterre ("end of the land"). Here goes this webpage. I don't know how to put a picture here.

Ok... Now I'll tell everything about this story.
I downloaded this book in hope of reading nice romantic story, but....

The Hero was a serial cheater: he cheated on his first wife ( that blonde came on mi so strong!!) WTF!!!!???? On his different GFS, he cheated on his last gf, ok, it was emotional cheating. But it wasn't ok for me.
He was unlikable, disgusting man.
Seriously, I was about a DNF just bc of him.
But I needed to know this story about heroine's dad... She was reading his diary. She felt his abandoning her and her mother.
This heroine was a sad woman, she just got out of her broken marriage, her husband cheated on her. Her adolescent son doesn't want to have anything with her..she is loosing her hearing ... Her story was just so sad, depressive.... You name it. But I was enjoying this lighthouses descriptions, those cliffs, this seashore...
Finally, her dad was just a jerk!!! Gigantic one! I will not put any spoilers, but I wish she'd met a good man, not another cheater..

Review given on GoodReads.
I was given a free copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for my review.
The first time I started the book, I only got 3 chapters in and it hadn't grabbed my attention, but I started it again and finished it in a day!
The story revolves around Imo (Imogen) who lives in her aunt's lighthouse, which overlooks another lighthouse where her father died several years previously. The story is based in Beachy Head, and after reading up about the place, it seems true to the area which I like.
Imo's father's death seems to be shrouded in a mystery which is slowly unravelled through the book - Imo is frustrated in the drawn out process in which she finds out what happened, and there is a touch of that for the reader I felt.
Add into the story line a Spanish musician who is trying to learn English for an acting part, and it gives it a bit of a new dimension. I felt though there were a lot of characters around the Spanish part of the story which were unnecessary and at times that part of the story was quite difficult to follow.
Enjoyed the couple of twists within the book, but because I had trouble following the Spanish part of the book, I've given it 3/5.

I really wanted to like this book -- I love lighthouses but I just couldn't finish the book. There are parts that were interesting, but the twitter dialogue lost me, I felt it jumped around too much. It wasn't easy to read and I wasn't always sure who was talking. If it was set up better and easier to understand, it would be better.

Love the plot idea and the spotify playlist for music, but sadly couldn't keep my interest.

This is a very well crafted , descriptive story that enjoyed very much. The location of the Lighthouse, of Madrid were beautifully told. I enjoyed this story of a woman exploring her past through the letters of her Father .A very good read. The charcters are enjoyable and i appreciated the authors attention to details throughout the story. Each facet of this book makes it a fascinating read.
Thank you for the ARC which does not influence my review.

This was a very enjoyable, easy read. The two central characters were likeable, and believable, and I found myself becoming embroiled in their story. I would hardly call them "hilarious mistakes" - slightly amusing would be the term I'd be more likely to use - but the misunderstandings, the cultural differences and so on make for an engaging story.

The conceit of her aunt only sending single pages of her father's diary is a little contrived, but I can forgive this. The mystery behind Imo's father's death is interesting enough, with all of the complications that this brings.

I felt that the book was well written, and I don't remember any frustration with poor proof reading, bad grammar and so on - these are things that do really annoy me! There were some lovely descriptive phrases, and there was a sense of place about it: I could believe that the author had visited, and loved, the places she was describing.
This certainly deserves a solid four stars.

Lovely book to read. Loved the writers style of writing. It was a very modern plot with twists to keep your interest

Imogen is trying to start her life over after separating from her husband. She is also trying to figure out how to work on her relationship with her son Ollie. She lives in the light house her dad worked in when she was a child. She is depending on a diary her Aunt holds to connect with her father who is deceased. Turns out her dad led a different life than she thought. She meets her half brother she never knew about. She is listening to music and realizes she like the artist performing the flamenco music. She communicates with Santi about his music and they become friends. There is a man working on the lighthouse for her Aunt that she thinks is spying for her Aunt. She meets a friend Jules who she enjoys spending time with. She agrees to teach Santi English. They work on this, then she visit s him. This visit turn Santo,s life in alot of different directions. This book takes the characters in alot different emotions and changes.

This isn't my usual genre of reads but one needs to change it from time to time to enjoy more books if that is even possible... But i liked the sound of this book because it included a lighthouse and i have always liked house houses.
The lighthouse keepers daughters describes a lighthouse at Beachy Head in the Easbourne area of the UK, and there is one there because i have been there not so long ago. There the main character Imogen who wants to write a book but for the life of her just cannot think... so she sets of to Madrid, another place I've visited. It was fun to see how her relationship blossoms with her spanish Ex band member. Twitter plays an importnant role in this story and it shows how chance social media contacts can bring people together.
Imogens father is has left some items in his bunk, which she finds hard to read and understand but it gives her reasons behind what has happened in the past.This part is where the book is such a page turner, you have to know what happened in that time era and keep turning those pages.
Its a charming story of two people through at the form of communication, one throughout todays world and another through the old letters that was found in her father bunk, a very interesting contrast in communications.
I would recommend this book. Thank you to net galley and to the publishers of this fascinating read.

I'm sad to say, I am completely unable to finish this. I can't make it past the 5th chapter. I need to be invested sooner than this to keep reading a book. This is coming from someone who RARELY quits a book.

I’m intrigued about her father, love the lighthouse setting. Writing style is difficult to follow at times. I like a novel that flows, that is seamless for me to immerse myself in. This has the potential but I find myself lost at the beginning. The author seems to jump from one thing to the other at times and it’s awkward and abrupt. There are parts where she ends a paragraph and then in the next goes back to something half way through the previous one. I found myself, several times, having to skip back, catch the train of thought, then continue. This is just an editing issue, things need to be rearranged. I hate having to go back and forth. It draws me away from the narrative.

There were a few intriguing things, like her father and his story, who her father was referring to in the diary, the development of the relationship with her twitter pal, but non of it was worth being bored to tears during the rest of the book.

The English lesson with Santi (his first in the book) was only a page long and I was so bored. Then the back and forth on twitter, would have been much better if it had been put in as a "chat dialogue" with Santi: blah blah blah and Imogen: blah blah blah. As it was, it was really easy to forget who was talking.

I was looking forward to this, but sadly, all it did was disappoint.
