A review by raoionna
The Light Keeper by Cole Moreton
4.0
Love lost is terrible, but worse when the loss is due to death. This is a very emotional book and could be triggering to some.
This is a lovely, sad book about mental health and suicide. The prose is slow, though, this might be due to the main character’s path towards acceptance of loss. The lighthouse, and the crashing waves below, are a metaphor, in some ways, but also a setting where loss often happens.
I really enjoyed this book, but I was not expecting the heavy tenor when I saw the cover. I don’t have personal experience with suicide, so I was able to focus on the beautiful words. I don’t know if this book would be challenging for someone dealing with suicide.
Thanks to Netgallery for the book in exchange for an honest review.
