About this book
In 1952, seventeen-year-old June Abbott finds her late father’s lighthouse logbook wedged behind a cellar beam. The entries stop three weeks before the storm that took him, and the last line is not in his handwriting.
Eleanor Whitcombe writes the cold, salt and silence of a coastal winter so well you will want a sweater. It is a mystery, a family story and a love letter to small towns that keep their secrets.

Slow start, then I could not put it down. Perfect for a snowy weekend.

Read it in two sittings. The ending made me go back to chapter one.
