From The New York Times best-selling author of The Girl Who Came Home comes a historical novel inspired by true events, and the extraordinary female lighthouse keepers of the past 200 years.
“They call me a heroine, but I am not deserving of such accolades. I am just an ordinary young woman who did her duty.”
1838: Northumberland, England. Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands has been Grace Darling’s home for all of her 22 years. When she and her father rescue shipwreck survivors in a furious storm, Grace becomes celebrated throughout England, the subject of poems, ballads, and plays. But far more precious than her unsought fame is the friendship that develops between Grace and a visiting artist. Just as George Emmerson captures Grace with his brushes, she in turn captures his heart.
1938: Newport, Rhode Island. Nineteen years old and pregnant, Matilda Emmerson has been sent away from Ireland in disgrace. She is to stay with Harriet, a reclusive relative and assistant lighthouse keeper, until her baby is born. A discarded, half-finished portrait opens a window into Matilda’s family history. As a deadly hurricane approaches, two women, living a century apart, will be linked forever by their instinctive acts of courage and love.

To be honest, it started out a little slow and a bit confusing with going back and forth between 1838 and 1938. But once I got into the story and used to the characters I was enthralled. The revelations at the end were especially interesting and I enjoyed how the characters from the two time periods all fit together.

The language is rich, the mood both reflective and joyful, there are no romance novel tropes to be found here, and by the end you'd really like to take tea with every woman in the book... well, maybe not Mrs. Emerson. Well done, to both the author and the narrator If I could give it 7 stars, I would.
