The Light Keeper: Sometimes Love Takes You to the Edge by Cole Moreton

4.0

This novel is deep, poignant, moving, and emotional. I found myself intrigued by both stories being told, and yearned to discover where they would lead. I was captivated by the scenery portrayed so beautifully, I could envision the old lighthouse, the crumbling cliff, the churning waters below. The scenery itself and The Keeper both reminded me of somewhere I have been before - Bar Harbor, Maine maybe? The grief, sorrow, and pain described were so deep, yet so beautiful, and prompted continuous inner thought and speculation. I did find myself skimming through parts that were just too slow moving and not enough substance, but I am glad I stuck with it and continued to read it because it picked up considerably and I was engrossed yet again. Definitely a good book club pick, there is so much to discuss and so many areas that would prompt different reflections and insights.
