About this listen
1882. Laura Webster and her father are the stalwart keepers of Benevolence Island Lighthouse, a desolate place stranded in the turbulent Bass Strait. When a raging storm wrecks a schooner just offshore, the few survivors take shelter with the Websters, awaiting rescue from the mainland. But some of the passengers have secrets that lead to dreadful consequences, the ripples of which echo far into the future...
2020. Nina and her team of volunteers arrive on Benevolence to work on repairs, with plans to open up the island to tourists. Also on the expedition, for reasons of his own, is Jude Rawlins, a man Nina once loved. A man who once destroyed her.
But the idyllic location soon turns into a nightmare as random acts of sabotage leave them with no communication to the mainland and the sense of someone on the island who shouldn't be there.
The fingers of those secrets from the passengers lost long ago are reaching into the present, and Nina will never be the same again...

"If you love dual timeline historical novels featuring strong, feisty heroines, then you'll enjoy The Keepers of the Lighthouse. It's a haunting read that has stayed with me days after the final page." (Better Reading)
"A wonderfully immersive read." (The Daily Telegraph)

Enjoyable read and easy listening
Thoroughly enjoyed the narrator’s interpretation and transition in voices and accents between the different time periods. Story needed a bit more depth.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
I really enjoyed the book and the depth of detail with all the characters. Being from Tasmania originally it gave me a sense of home.
I have to commend the performance of the talent. She was expressive, fun and navigated the range of characters exceptionally well. The accents were all spot on!

Complex story on first reading
Not bad. There are many characters introduced too quickly to keep track of everyone. I stopped listening after a few hours as the conversation between the characters did not seem to contribute to the storyline. I hope the book can be extended and improved.
