Like Russian dolls, these dolls nested within him.” It occurs to him that there different versions of himself to farewell- the abandoned eight-year-old, the delusional soldier who hovered somewhere in hell the lightkeeper who dared to leave his heart undefended. This book had an overwhelming feeling of desperation, yet it was countered with the sereneness of nature, the isolation of the lighthouse and the calm depths of the ocean. This book would lead to excellent discussion, most importantly, what would you do for your own child, or for that matter, someone else’s child. Kudo’s to her for keeping it honest with a believable conclusion. ![]() A total page turner however there were times I was scared to turn the page, worried that the author would slight us by not giving us a good plot. ![]() The love story is genuine, the dialogue perfect and watching Tom come into his own skin was incredibly realistic. For me, this book seriously hit on a mother’s heartstrings, but more importantly it focused mostly on lies and that even “a good lie” can be dangerous. ![]()
