Of two minds....
The book was very well written and researched
I’m a happily ever after sort of person and wished the hero and heroine could have been together
The years of their life was a problem as propriety and expectations were very important in the 1800’s
However, there was a lot more sadness to this story than joy

A most enjoyable book one I think you should read and enjoy.
The Lighthouse keepers daughter reveals the many different forms of love that can be found and lost. The love of the sea., the love of family the love of one another and the love of tradition and history. A warm sometimes stormy story, that is heart wrenching and heart warming.
Congratulations to author and narrator. E.J

A great Read
A great story with excellent narration.
This story introduced the characters at a smooth pace, although a sad ending it portrays the hard work & dedication the lighthouse keepers endured,
This story gives a brief insight to how life was as a keeper in the 1800's to early 1900"s.
I got this book as a daily read special price but its worth full price.
Highly recommended.
