Set in Ireland on the wild coast of Connemara, this hauntingly romantic novel tells the story of a young woman who goes in search of her family’s past and ends up discovering her future.Ellen Trawton is running away from it all. She hates her job, she doesn’t love the aristocratic man to whom she is engaged, and her relationship with her controlling mother is becoming increasingly strained. So Ellen leaves London, fleeing to the one place she knows her mother won’t find her, her aunt’s cottage in Connemara. Cutting all her ties with chic London society, Ellen gives in to Ireland’s charm and warmth, thinking her future may lie where so much of her past has been hidden. Her imagination is soon captured by the compelling ruins of a lighthouse where, five years earlier, a young mother died in a fire.The ghost of the young wife, Caitlin, haunts the nearby castle, mourning the future she can never have there. Unable to move on, she watches her husband and children, hoping they might see her and feel her love once more. But she doesn’t anticipate her husband falling in love again. Can she prevent it? Or can she let go and find a way to freedom and happiness?The ruggedly beautiful Connemara coastline with its tightknit community of unforgettable characters provides the backdrop for this poignant story of two women seeking the peace and love they desperately need. For each, the key will be found in the secrets of the past, illuminated by the lighthouse.
Ellen Trawton está a punto de casarse con un hombre al que no ama, su trabajo la deprime, y su madre se entromete en todos los aspectos de su vida. Cuando un día descubre un puñado de cartas dirigidas a su madre por una tía Peg, cuya existencia hasta entonces desconocía, decide huir. ¿Qué mejor lugar para romper todo contacto con el pasado que el imponente paisaje de Connemara? Pero tras la salvaje belleza de ese perdido rincón de Irlanda se oculta un misterio que parece imposible de desentrañar. Como la oscura y solitaria presencia de Conor Macausland, un hombre desolado por la trágica muerte de su esposa Caitlin en el viejo faro. El encuentro casual entre Ellen y Conor genera una conexión muy especial e imposible de soslayar, pero Ellen no tarda en darse cuenta de que el pasado de Conor no es lo que parece, y que su propia familia también alberga secretos en su pasado. Santa Montefiore nos trae la fascinante historia de una familia dividida y de un amor que se niega a morir.
