- The lighthouse keeper's wife / by O'Sullivan, Juneauthor.;
A lighthouse keeper's wife struggles to protect her family at the edge of the known world. 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. Eliza is proud of her husband and his promotion to Principal Keeper and is eager to support him in his work and fulfil her duty as a good wife and mother. 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. With no access to a boat, keepers must rely on a tender boat to deliver news, supplies and act as their conduit to life on the mainland. The island is exposed to extreme changes of weather and the landscape is fraught with danger. When Assistant Keeper Edmund and his wife Ruth arrive, Eliza hopes for respite. But her new neighbours are not what she'd expected. They blow hot and cold, seemingly wanting Eliza and her family to leave Skellig Michael, and making her question her sanity. 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?

But my kiddies are cute) Geoffrey Gorer.:Good parody is murderously hard to write. Wolcott Gibbs, an accomplished parodist if ever there was one, said that it is the hardest form of creative writing there is, because not only must the style of the subject be reproduced in slightly enlarged form, but it must also hold the interest of people who haven't read the original. It was Aldous Huxley who said that parodies are the most penetrating form of criticism, and Oscar Wilde who said they are the tribute that mediocrity pays to genius, which leaves us with a pretty good idea as to who had been burned and who hadn't. Some of the parodies are, obviously, more successful than others, which is a roundabout way of saying that some don't hold up if you haven't read the original material; but others make glorious reading even if you've never even heard of the author being parodied, and this is the best kind I can think of." - Nathaniel Benchley, from the introduction.
