Description
In this companion novel to Bodies of Light, Ally's husband Tom leaves, only weeks into their marriage, to build lighthouses in Japan. Ally, one of Britain's first female doctors, takes work at an asylum in Truro.
With only letters sent across the ocean to sustain them, and with Ally now battling her old demons alone, will their marriage survive?
