My thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

I want to start off by saying that I think I am in a reading slump, as the last five or so books that I have read have all underwhelmed me, so the following is just my opinion, that is currently founded in a reading slump.

This book bored me. While at work, with the option to read this book during lunch or just sit and stare at the wall or skip lunch and read my work email, I did not reach for this book or I would open it, glance at it briefly, then put it down and go back to work.

DNF at 23%. If you enjoy reading historical fiction that takes place in the Cape Cod area and enjoy maritime and lighthouses as background, you will possibly enjoy this more than I did. I don't dislike those things, but it wasn't enough to drag me out of my book slump.

2, it's probably more me than the book, stars.

When I'm stuck at home because of COVID19, this is exactly the kind of book I want. It takes me away to a place I've never been--Tasmania, so close to the Antarctic. Description of the lighthouse area, the well-fleshed out characters as well as the story line make this a book that takes the reader away from their hum-drum life and lets them live the life of someone entirely different.
