Lighthousekeeping - Jeanette Winterson
From one of Britain\'s best-loved literary novelists comes a magical, lyrical tale of the young orphan Silver, taken in by the ancient lighthousekeeper Mr. Motherless and anchorless, Silver is taken in by the timeless Mr. Pew, who reveals to her a world of myth and mystery through the art of storytelling.
Pew tells Silver ancient tales of longing and rootlessness, of the slippages that occur throughout every life. Pew, keeper of the Cape Wrath lighthouse. One life, Babel Dark\'s, a nineteenth-century clergyman, opens like a map that Silver must follow, and the intertwining of myth and reality, of storytelling and experience, lead her through her own particular darkness.
A story of mutability, talking birds and stolen books, of Darwin and Stevenson and of the Jekyll and Hyde in all of us, Lighthousekeeping is a way into the most secret recesses of our own hearts and minds. Jeanette Winterson is one of the most extraordinary and original writers of her generation, and this shows her at her lyrical best.
