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.
