I finished it last night with a box of tissue! I know why it's on the bestsellers chart!

Superb romance. The heroine is devoted to her work of running the lighthouse. She sacrifices love and marriage for this passion.
I absolutely loved this book--the feelings in it, the plot structure, the characters, the scenery. I had no idea it was based on a real story until I was curious to look up the direction of the boat travel on the east coast of England. I especially loved the understanding that George came to of being grateful to have known and loved her and respect her needs to stay with her family and the sea: "It must be enough then to have spent time with her, to have fallen quietly in love with her without the promise of anything more....His feeling for her transcends anything so impermanent." (p.375)
