This is a very "honest" book. It describes, in very accessible terms, the experiences of a young man learning about lighthouse keeping. Only once in a while does the author apply 20-20 hindsight to make an observation. It is perceptive and moving, but certainly not without a good amount of humour. My kind of book for sure and I recommend it to anyone. I am left with a feeling that I'd like to visit some of those lights and a sadness that he describes a lifestyle that is now past.
