This specially commissioned piece of song and music has lyrics derived from the novel “Lighthousekeeping” (2004) by Jeanette Winterson. Silver, the 10-year old, fatherless narrator, lives with her mother in Salts, 'a sea-flung, rock-bitten, sand-edged shell of a town'. Then when her mother falls to her death, Silver is apprenticed to the blind, Homeric lighthousekeeper Pew, and she must learn the lighthouse's stories. Part of the Highland Seashore Project Festival.
