About this listen


How do you find love . . . when you have the loneliest job in the world?

This is the story of Gayle and Martin, who fall in love over the course of ten years- over a yearly visit to a tiny, isolated island off the Welsh coast.

Gayle is a teacher and each year she brings her class to the island to see the local flora and fauna, from sea birds to playful seals. Martin, the island's caretaker and only human resident, lives in and maintains the lighthouse, which opens to the public for just this one day a year.

Gayle is effervescent but feels trapped, while Martin is lonely and isolated. As their love slowly builds over time, they both yearn for the annual field trip where they can finally see each other... Until one year Gayle doesn't come back, and Martin has to leave his island hideaway to find her.

A romantic, tender love story, perfect for fans of Mike Gayle and Rachel Joyce.

Praise for David M. Barnett:

Soo good

To be fair, David Barnett is my favourite author, I have loved every single one of his books, except the hand over which I havnt listened too yet because I didn’t like the narrators.
But David Barnett and David Thorpe together make my absolute favourite audiobooks.
This was a wonderful listen I enjoyed every moment of it, even the start of chapter 13 I think it is where there’s a 10 second editing fail. I loved it.

David Thorpe always brings David Barrett’s books to life, I seriously recommend listening to all the others narrated by him.
Also any books narrated by him actually. Plus I highly recommend any of barnetts books, I have loved each one. Always make me feel nice about life. Which sometimes we need.
