On Lighthouses by Christina MacSweeney, Jazmina Barrera

adventurous emotional informative inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.75

The best way I can describe this is book is that it's like a sunset (or a sunrise if that's more your thing) - it's lovely, and simple, and utterly ordinary on the surface, but when you start to think about it, meditate on it, take some time with it, it becomes so much more. There are layers, threads, paths mapped and unmapped, and connections are collections in a sense (and vice versa). It's philosophical and esoteric, but without becoming too erudite or aloof. It's searching and personal, yet never overly revealing or intrusive. It's immersive, like the night and the sea, and a lighthouse to assure you resurface.
