Description
The debut novel from Trish Key · Edited by Ty Browne
When her father’s lighthouse is decommissioned, Iris Voss returns to Carrow Island to pack up the only home her family ever kept. In the lamp room, behind the brass and the logbooks, she finds a bundle of letters in her late mother’s hand — addressed, sealed, and never sent.
Each letter opens a door her mother kept closed: a summer on the mainland, a name no one in the family ever spoke, a choice that decided all of their lives. As the island empties for winter and the last ferry of the season draws near, Iris pieces together who the name belongs to — and learns that some mail, decades late, can still be delivered.
The Lantern Keeper’s Daughter is a novel about inheritance — of houses, of silences, of the sea — and about the daughters who finally answer their mothers’ unsent letters.
