This haunting, elegiac tale pays tribute to the power and endurance of love. After Sara Stevenson, daughter of renowned lighthouse designer Robert Stevenson, falls in love with sailor Thomas Chrichton, a man her family considers far beneath her station, the young lovers set plans in motion for a secret elopement. When Thomas fails to show up at the designated rendezvous point, a devastated Sara is left pregnant, alone, and yet curiously hopeful. Cast out by her righteous family, she is sent to live in a remote lighthouse on the windswept shores of Cape Wrath at the northernmost tip of Scotland. Making peace with her strange new life, she attracts the attention of the enigmatic lightkeeper and slowly begins to move forward. Both the narrative and the early-nineteenth-century setting are suffused with gloriously gothic elements as a ghostly mystery takes shape around the true circumstances of Thomas puzzling disappearance and dramatic reentry into Saras life. True romantics will suspend their disbelief and revel in the mystical passion of this timeless love story.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
