Opis

In the loneliness of the windy, wet, semi-wild coast of northern Brittany, Jack Turner, nearing fifty, is looking for a last chance. An unemployed American journalist struggling to resurrect his life from the soul killing stress of war, drink and divorce, he has cast his fate to the winds that blow in from the indifferent sea, borrowing a derelict lighthouse from an old friend and attempting to put his nearly desperate and silent soul into the words of a novel. Instead, he winds up putting his heart into the hands of a brilliant, beautiful and younger woman who is something of a mystery to all, perhaps even to herself. With a few new friends from the nearby port, an abandoned old dog that Turner has adopted and a restless search for the way forward in a world in which he feels adrift, he finds a perilous love behind a curtain of recurring rains and in the baffling, winsome wraith of the enchanting Delphic rainbow that is Lucille Morvan.
