You settle in as Agnes Loch reads letters written from a granite lighthouse off the coast, where Harriet Combe spent one summer keeping watch. Her voice carries salt, patience, and the particular quiet of fog-bound mornings. You learn how darkness falls on the water, how a garden grows in a wooden crate, how a cup of tea at four becomes ceremony when the mainland feels distant. The chapters move like tides: a walk around the whole island, letters read aloud to gulls who listen without judgment, the sound of a door opening to wind. It is unhurried, observant, and built from small things made large by attention. Let the light turn and the gulls settle.
