A novel in letters between a lighthouse keeper and the widow who writes to him by mistake. Gentle, witty, and sad in all the right places.

Cover of Letters to the Lighthouse by Agnes Whitlow

A widow writes to her late husband's old address and the letter reaches a lighthouse keeper instead. He writes back.

Whitlow keeps the letters short and funny, and lets the sadness sit between them. A gentle book that knows exactly when to stop.
