The Lighthouse Keeper's Wife is a classic New Zealand story of life on remote Stephens Island, famous for its wild life and stronghold of the pre-historic tuatara. Above all, this is a human story of self-discovery and the lighthouse community, far away from the everyday world.
Jeanette Aplin writes with unusual candour, revealing her struggles to live up to her high ideals, and 'to be a good, true, lighthouse keeper's wife.' Her book is funny, suspenseful, surprising. As she brings alive a way of life now gone forever, she draws even the most home-bound reader into becoming part of the island's rare magic.
Jeanette Aplin now lives with her husband Pip on D'Urville Island ... No electricity in the house, no road to the door. |
