Acerca de esta escucha

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.

As always, Imogen Church excels at narrating this somewhat sad but enlightening story of love and loss.

Great listen!

Loved everything about this book. Beautifully written and wonderfully performed. There was something a little haunting about the way the book read written, interweaving stories 100 years apart on a timeline as if they happened simultaneously. The characters were well developed and I came to care about each one. Excellent book! I highly recommend!

Beautiful and Haunting

I really enjoyed the book, with its historic nature and the interesting lives of lighthouse keepers.
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.

Great historic novel

I didn't know what to expect from this book, but I have always loved lighthouses, and the sea. Based on the true story of Grace Darling and her family, this novel weaves fact with fiction so delicately as to make one wish the whole story was true. In the end, this book is a celebration of women who choose the road less taken, the non-traditional, the unexpected, but for all the right reasons of their internal morality and indomitable spirits.

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.

Enchanting, Mezmerizing
