review 1: I found this book at the Library, and thought it would be a good book to read as the summer comes to an end. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Very well written, and a very flawed yet incredibly likable narrator...nice details, and for me, I could imagine living in a lighthouse....intelligently written yet a very quick and enjoyable read. The best thing I liked about the character was that she was a reader...no matter what was going on around her, she could get lost in a book...
review 2: Although the author states that she spent summers on Ocracoke Island, and based her imaginary island on it, the setting didn't remind me of my experience on OBX. The setting seemed more a place for her "quirky characters," as the dust jacket described them, to... more interact rather than a authentic piece of nature. Ms. Block states that she wanted to deal with the deep ideas of recovery from loss, but it felt to me that resolution came rather suddenly. Curiously, although the novel seemed very lightweight, the characters keep coming back to mind at odd moments. less
