The Beacon

Set in the bleak North Country, this audiobook follows the lives of the Prime children—Colin, Bernice, May, and Frank—each navigating their own paths after growing up in the Beacon farmhouse. While some marry and settle nearby, Frank leaves for London to pursue a career in journalism, ultimately seeking fame and recognition by revisiting his old home and family history. The story explores themes of memory, ambition, and the passage of time through their intertwined lives.
