Synopsis

A lighthouse keeper’s wife struggles to protect her family at the edge of the known world.

"On such a tiny stage, a rock in the ocean, June presents an epic story of love, loss, betrayal, heartbreak, and survival. This is a stunning debut." DONAL RYAN

"A powerful & evocative debut historical novel with many resonances for our own world." JOSEPH O’CONNOR

"A powerful, poignant story of love, loss, motherhood, with characters so vivid they live and breathe well beyond the page. It is a truly beautiful piece of storytelling. I loved this book." FIONA SCARLETT author of Boys Don't Cry

Life is hard in Ireland in 1867. Eliza Carthy moves with her lighthouse-keeper husband James and sons Peter and Joseph to the remote island of Skellig Michael.

But life in this extreme location is challenging. The island is 54 acres of jagged rock, jutting out of the Atlantic, with no way of communicating from or leaving the island.

When Assistant Keeper Edmund and his wife Ruth arrive, Eliza hopes for respite. But her new neighbours are not what she’d expected.

Will Eliza be able to keep her family safe at the edge of the world? And can her marriage survive all that the island throws at them?
