Why read it?
1 author picked The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is so well written. It draws the reader into the story quickly with rich historical details and compelling characters. In 1838 in England a young woman helps her father, a lighthouse keeper, rescue survivors of a shipwreck. A century later a young Irish woman is sent to America to have her baby while living with a relative who is a lighthouse keeper.
