Secrets of the Lighthouse

By: Santa Montefiore

Narrated by: Susan Riddell

Ellen Trawton is running away from it all. She hates her job, she doesn't love the aristocratic man to whom she is engaged, and her relationship with her controlling mother is becoming increasingly strained. So Ellen leaves London, fleeing to her aunt's cottage in Connemara. Cutting ties with London society, Ellen gives in to Ireland's charm and warmth, thinking her future may lie where so much of her past has been hidden. Her imagination is soon captured by the ruins of a lighthouse where, five years earlier, a young mother died in a fire. The ghost of the young wife, Caitlin, haunts the nearby castle. Unable to move on, she watches her husband and children, hoping they might see her and feel her love once more. But she doesn't anticipate her husband falling in love again...

Critic reviews

Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore. Everything she writes, she writes from the heart.. (Jojo Moyes, author of The Girl You Left Behind.

Wanted to give it 3

This is the second Santa Montefiore book I've listened to, and although charming, just not as good as The Beekeeper's Daughter... until the epilogue! I was dropping chick flick tears on my commute home!

My only complaint was every now and again the narrator sounded like she had a head cold, which was a bit distracting.

A Very Dear Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator was wonderful, and the story line was clever. I wish the story continued with the many characters introduced in the book

Couldn't stop listening to this book.

it started out very sad and I almost stopped listing. but once I got past the first few chapters I was hooked. the narrator was absolutely amazing. the story line very intriguing.

Worth the time
