'Gripping ... so powerfully emotional that at times I had to put it
down to wipe my eyes' Mail on Sunday 'How do you say thank you to
someone for giving you their heart? It is the greatest gift a
person can ever give.' Marc is a promising young footballers of 15,
growing up in Scotland. A few hundred miles away in England, Martin
is a fun-loving 16-year-old. Both are enjoying their summers when
they are suddenly struck down by debilitating illnesses. Within
days, the boys are close to death. Although their paths have never
crossed, their fortunes are about to be bound in the most
extraordinary, intimate way. One of them will die and in doing so,
he will save the other's life. This is a deeply powerful and
dramatic story. It is extremely rare for the family of a donor to
have any personal contact with the recipient of their loved one's
organ. Yet remarkably, the mothers of these two boys meet and
become friends, enabling the extraordinary, bittersweet moment in
which a mother who has lost her son meets the boy he saved.
Reaching out and placing her palm flat against his chest, she feels
the heart of her son beating away inside another. Her boy, the boy
who gave his heart away.
'The Light Keeper' is the debut novel by award-winning writer Cole
Moreton. It is a story of faith and hope that follows themes of
depression, love and loss, and redemption. Rich in prose throughout
and written with sensitivity, Cole writes about difficult issues
and themes with human warmth. Set in the South Coast of England,
amongst the setting of Beachy Head and the South Downs National
Park, 'The Light Keeper' contains compelling twists that keep the
reader invested and guessing until the very end. Moreton explores
the intimacy of relationships through husband and wife, Jack and
Sarah. Sarah has run away from home to this wild, beautiful place
to make a decision that is, for her, truly a matter of life and
death. Pursued by Jack, he is desperate to find her on these hills
before it is too late as the number of men and women going over the
cliff edge has ominously increased of late. But does the secret lie
with the Keeper who live alone in the old lighthouse, a few steps
from the four-hundred-foot drop in this gorgeous, terrifying place?
Cole Moreton's profound novel has endorsements from many respected
authors from Matt Haig to Jane Fallon to Anthony Horrowitz.
'Clive James raged against the dying of the light, as you would
expect from a man who had punched out prose like a prizefighter all
his life; yet he also showed grace and gratitude at being allowed
to stay in that light for a little while longer. He saw beauty in
even the smallest things. Every moment was potentially precious,
because there were so few left. As his daughter Claerwen said, for
him "Everything was Extraordinary."' What if we could learn to live
with such awareness long before the end? To appreciate every
moment, and every encounter with another human or with the natural
world around us? Might we, too, learn that everything is
extraordinary? That we are interconnected and interdependent? Each
encounter we have with another person is potentially meaningful
because our very humanity depends on being connected with others.
As Desmond Tutu says: 'I couldn't be a human being on my lonesome,
I wouldn't know what to do.' In a set of lyrical meditations,
award-winning writer and interviewer Cole Moreton takes us
face-to-face with the famous, the infamous -- and others with
insights to share -- from Scarlett Johansson, Tiger Woods and Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to Zahra, a refugee who crossed the
Channel on a tiny, overladen rubber boat. We meet all of them as
equals and each fascinating story tells us something about the way
we live, love and reach out to find each other, whoever we are.
Everything Is Extraordinary builds into a mesmerising and lyrical
meditation on the joy of being alive and open to the world. All we
need to do is pay attention.
The debut novel from an award-winning journalist and broadcaster
Three writers offer words in search of wonders. The author Cole
Moreton, the poet Mark Halliday and the journalist Martin Wroe
collaborate on a collection of poems that are full of honesty,
doubt and beauty.
