Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson

This was a special, unusual book recommended to me by Jenne. The story is about a young woman who becomes apprenticed to a lighthousekeeper, someone who takes care of a lighthouse. Part of the job of a lighthousekeeper is to tell stories for the sailors who visit the lighthouse so the young woman hears the stories told by the older keeper. As the story progresses the characters in the main storyline and the story-within-a-story both get more interesting. The young lighthousekeeper ultimately begins to weave her own by the end of the book. Recommended.
