Thank you to Laurie at Simon and Schuster for my invitation to the tour and copy of the book, in return for a fair and honest review.

Toby is a journalist who has come to Newton Dunbar to write his memoir. A small knit community in a remote inland village which at its heart has a bookshop. Not any old bookshop though, a lighthouse with a history. Rachel works at the shop and is employed by Cullen who owns the lighthouse. There are some real characters in the small village and some of them have a past that they don’t want to be discovered.

This is a really lovely story, set in a small village there is a real sense of community. Everyone knowing everyone’s business plus some busybodies. Gilly arrives and some of the community are suspicious of her and she of them. What is her story ?

This is a perfect escapist read I was transported to this little village and I felt like a real part of the story.

Fantastic read !
