Description
An extraordinary collection of interviews with lighthouse keepers and their families, in their own words a record of a vanished profession and a vanished Britain of the 1970s. Described by William Golding as "one of the most fascinating social documents I have ever read". It captures the delights and downfalls of isolation, the mindgames it plays on ordinary people and the romance of the outer reaches of Britain.
Reviews
"A splendid book which has enriched my understanding of human nature."
