Synopsis
Silver is being raised by Pew, the old, blind lighthouse keeper in her Scottish town, who tells her the story behind the building of the lighthouse--one involving love, betrayal, and disaster. At the same time, Silver's own story turns desperate: Pew's lighthouse bows to automation and, jobless, Pew disappears, leaving Silver on her own. Jeanette Winterson's story is a sad but ultimately hopeful tale that spans two centuries and brings to life both the bleak coast of Scotland and a sun-drenched Greek island.

Publisher's Note
Taken in by the enigmatic blind keeper of the Cape Wrath lighthouse, an orphaned Silver listens as the aged man recounts stories that center around a nineteenth-century clergyman who lived a paradoxical life while experiencing unfulfilled passions, displacement, and betrayal.

Industry Reviews
"Winterson's latest is all about light and dark, love and its absence."
Kirkus (12/15/2004)

"Atmospheric and elusive, Winterson's high-modernist excursion is an inspired meditation on myth and language."
New Yorker (05/02/2005)
