A woman is found beached on the shore of a small island off the coast of Scotland. The only people inhabiting the island are the lighthouse keeper and his assistant. But the woman, who can remember nothing of who she is, thinks she sees a little girl running around the island from time to time. The two men, and later, the sister of the keeper who arrives to care for them, seem invested in the woman not recovering her memory.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312318103, Hardcover)Set in the early nineteenth century, Pharos is a dazzling ghost story from an award-winning author. A young woman is washed up on the shores of Jacob's Rock, a remote lighthouse island off the coast of Scotland. She does not know who she is or how she got there. She has no memory. The keeper of the lighthouse and his assistant take her in and feed and clothe her. But this mysterious woman is not all that she seems, and neither is the remote and wind-swept island. Eerily reminiscent of Turn of the Screw and The Others, Pharos is a breathless tale of the supernatural. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:54 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
