Love in the Light
Love in the Light: A Musical Novel | Luke McQuillan
1 post | 1 read
Characters break out into song on the page in this cozy musical novel about finding love and finding your way. QR codes throughout the book let you listen to the songs as you read for an immersive, musical experience. It's 1939. Alfred Hearn navigates ships for a living, but he struggles to navigate his own dreams. His true desires are at odds with society, and he pushes them down. A new job offers a fresh start, but there's a catch: He has to live in a crumbling lighthouse with the moody keeper. The young lighthouse keeper, James Spencer, has no interest in having a roommate. His books and records are company enough. But Alfred is unlike any other young man he's ever met, and sparks begin to fly. The remote lighthouse could be the perfect harbor for a forbidden romance to flourish. If only the shipping company they both work for didn't have other plans for it. If they lose the safety of the lighthouse, what would it mean for their blossoming relationship? With James by his side, Alfred must finally face navigating the rockiest sea of all: his own life.

Alfred is starting out on his own w/ a new job at a shipping company as a navigator. His offered housing is w/ a grumpy lighthouse keeper who maybe brings more opportunities that‘s Alfred had ever expected.

I really loved the concept of this book! It‘s a musical in novel form, & the songs were a lot of fun! The romance was a bit rushed for me, & I felt the historical setting was treated too shallowly, but a fun cast of characters!🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
