The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter

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.

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 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.
