The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex
3.5
dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed this enough but I found that the ending was quite disappointing. 

I liked the multiple pov's and the way the stories all linked together, it was a really atmospheric book, and everyone was so sad. 

The author really described the loneliness of being a lighthouse keeper and also the longing of the wives whilst the keepers were away on the Maiden.
