A lighthouse, a missing father and a winter that won't end. I read it in two sittings, then made Tom read it too.
About the book
Northumberland, 1911. When the keeper of the Farrow Point light fails to come home from the mainland, his daughter Agnes keeps the lamp burning on her own, and starts to find out where he really went.
A slow-burning, beautifully written family story about weather, secrets and staying put. Ruth Calloway talks about it at the shop on 15 October.

recommends
A body on the mudflats, a village that closes ranks and a detective who'd rather be fishing. Proper crime with a sharp twist.
