Sinopsis

A secret kept for thirty-five years. A heart too afraid to hope. And a love that arrives not with fanfare-but with a cup of tea and a mended step.Cornwall, 1866. Margaret 'Maggie' Penwell has spent her life tending The Gull & Lantern-feeding fishermen, healing the sick, and offering shelter to every lost soul who walks through her door. But behind her quiet strength lies a hidden grief: at nineteen, she gave up her newborn son to spare him the shame of her unwed status. She never married. Never spoke of him. And never dared to hope he?d remember her.When Thomas Bellweather-now a schoolmaster in Plymouth-writes asking, 'Did you love me, even as you let me go?', Maggie?s carefully ordered world trembles. And when a reserved shipwright named Arthur Bellweather begins repairing more than just her roof, she must confront a terrifying truth: after a lifetime of giving love to others... is she worthy of receiving it herself?The Gull & Lantern is a heartfelt Victorian women?s fiction novel of second chances, quiet courage, and the enduring power of found family-perfect for fans of The Language of Flowers, Miss Benson?s Beetle*, and *The Keeper of Stories.Step into a world where healing isn?t found in grand gestures-but in pressed flowers, shared silences, and the courage to leave your gate open.
