On the jagged Cork coast the Ballycotton lighthouse stands tall, protecting ships from its rocks. Four women are waiting there for their husbands to return from watch duty. Four women who swear never to reveal the truth about what happened while they were away. Decades later, Mollie, the granddaughter of one of those women, receives an anonymous letter. Family secrets never stay buried. Only Mollie’s grandmother is still alive of the four – and she’s not well enough to tell. But someone knows the truth and is threatening to reveal it all… Tracing a story of betrayal, friendship, loyalty and love, The Keepers’ Wives sweeps us into the heart of a small coastal community in the 1950s, a young girl desperate for a bigger life – and an event that comes back to haunt the descendants many years later.
