The Beacon
Susan Hill Audio Book

The Prime children grew up in a bleak North Country farmhouse called the Beacon. Colin married and went to work on a neighbouring farm. Bernice married locally, too. May stayed behind at the Beacon, the spinster daughter looking after aging parents. And then there was Frank, with pale green eyes. Frank who was always watching. Frank was the one who got away.He left for London and Fleet Street, but journalism was not enough. Frank wanted fame and money… and he got them, by writing about his old home, his family, his past. Frank’s telling the world about his own childhood, as he remembers it, has a devastating effect on an entire community.
