I am not familiar with that novel. I have been focusing mainly on non-fiction lighthouse reading having come into this arena later than most in the community. I am starting to branch out a bit more into historical fiction and am compiling a reading list of recommendations. I will add your suggestion to my list. I actually collect lighthouse books (those geared to adults and to kids).

What intrigues you about lighthouses?

I decided to follow my bliss...retired from a 32-year career as a hospital pharmacist to study lighthouses and be a keeper at one. I traded a complex financially stable/secure life for a simple (unpaid) adventure. Now I am exploring writing about my journey from pharmacy to pharology and all the amazing things I am noticing and learning. I took a similar photo to yours above. Someone paused to decorate a random tree along a dead end road for Christmas. The color of your ornament (red) and the soft snowflake cap (white) mimic the colors of my lighthouse.
