Light, Paperback by Elphinstone, Margaret, ISBN 1841959847, ISBN-13 9781841959849, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US On a tiny island off the Isle of Man in 1831, two women helm a fractured but intensely close family on the verge of losing their way of life. Lucy and Diya, sisters-in-law, are raising their children as brother and sisters far from the prying Victorian eyes of people on the more inhabited British Isles. Diya's husband has died, and the father of Lucy's son is nowhere to be found. The two singular women rely on Lucy's job as the lighthouse keeper to support their families, even as they dread the day the outside world will come to their island.When that invasion comes - in the form of Archie Buchanan, a young dreamer of a surveyor, and Ben Groat, his practical and kind assistant - the women begin to remember all that they have missed, but their children have other ideas. Faced with banishment from the only home she'd ever known and terrified at the prospect of living among strangers, Diya's hotheaded daughter, Breesha, attempts a terrible act that may lead the family to ruin.
