Island Light by Katherine Towler
I love this series because it's about the island where I grew up in the Narragansett Bay, RI area.
This one starts out with Ruth and her camera. She lives at the inn on the east side. I was a waitress there when it was a restaurant.
Nick lives on the west side and takes care of the twin houses-which are still standing for real on the west side of the island.
There is the lighthouse and also the schoolhouse but I don't recall the lookout tower-maybe it's the one on the Navy Base section as we were friends with the commander in the 60's we were able to go there often to meet up with our girlfriends.
Starts out in Sept and when I started reading this last book of the series it was Sept, the island had just suffered a loss of a house built in the 1800's and one islander died. He was the grandson of a character in the previous books. So sad.
I keep putting off finishing this book because I do not want it to end. It's about a place in time that is no longer. I see the island every month and it's charm in the winter is great, but as summer approaches it loses some of what it has left.
Love reading about the rogue radio broadcasts and can just picture them from the house on the west side...
A hard life to those who winter there but to them it's life simplified...
I still travel to the island once a month for a few days and can picture myself retiring there...
