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. Pew, who reveals to her a world of
myth and mystery through the art of storytelling. Motherless and
anchorless, Silver is taken in by the timeless Mr. Pew, keeper of
the Cape Wrath lighthouse. Pew tells Silver ancient tales of
longing and rootlessness, of the slippages that occur throughout
every life. 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.
