Synopsis

Will Elliott is out of a job. The lighthouse he's been manning on Prince Albert Rock, off the wild Cornish coast, is about to become automated. So Will decides to fulfil his lifelong ambition - to sail round the coastline of Britain.

Determined to continue his solitary existence, Will begins his preparations for his epic voyage. But before he has time to so much as paint his hull, he meets Amy Finn - a beautiful artist and fellow loner. And as if that isn't distraction enough, suddenly his sleepy Cornish village is rocked by the biggest scandal to hit Cornwall since Guenevere ran off with Launcelot.

It seems as if Will will never get away, and even if he does will his journey be solo or is there hope that he and Amy could be embarking on a two-man voyage of discovery?

Goodreads review by Jaza42 on August 23, 2019

A very comfortable novel (not in a bad sense at all!) to read when you feel you need a simple tale of new beginnings. I loved the main character except for a while near the end. There's an effort to properly characterize the protagonist's love interest, but it's not always achieved completely. The s......more
