Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) Aussie_Bookworm | Mar 31, 2013 |  I have seen this book recommended as young adult reading, but with the incest, child abuse etc., I am not sure I would agree. (  ) EllasGran | Apr 21, 2012 | Her happiness is short-lived; however, as her mother plunges into madness and her father seems to forget about Lillian completely. Her mother begins to refer to people that Lillian doesn't know and when she asks her father about them, he is secretive, not only about the people but about their entire past. What could be so horrible that her father cannot bring himself to share it with Lillian? As the story progresses, Lillian discovers the twisted Arrington history and uncovers the truth about her parents and herself. V.C. Andrews fans will like this. (  ) cmeilink | Feb 29, 2012 | Aquesta ressenya s'ha escrit per al programa Donatius de membres de LibraryThing. The Arrington family is hiding a devastating secret. Before long, the secret is uncovered, changing life as young Lillian Arrignton knows it into something vastly different, as well as uncovering a mystery that her parents have long concealed.The novel is short, intensely gripping and does not turn the reader loose. One is compelled to keep turning pages to find out what happens next. While the first half of the novel extensively develops the main characters (and meny of the supporting characters as well), this part of the story does not move slowly, as happens all too often. The last half of the novel surprises the reader a bit, dark, ominous and gothic, not what would be expected from the title nor even the first half of the book... Yet the transisiton was well done and barely noticible, as Lillian's life changes during the course of the story. The Girl in the Lighthouse is the first novel in the Arrington series. As such, it sets the stage for things to come, but is, in its own way, a complete story as well... One could read just this novel without pursuing the story further, but after meeting Lillian Arrington, the reader might not wish to stop here... I know I don't. Recommended to fans of mystery and gothic novels, as well as those readers who just like a short, intense novel. A signed, paperback copy of this novel was provided to me free in exchange for this review. As always, accepting the novel only obligates me to write a review. No promises were made as to what the content of my review would be. This review has been posted on Dragon Views, LibraryThing, Amazon.com, and wherever else I may deem appropriate. (  ) 1dragones | Jul 10, 2011 | I won't give anything else away. But if you enjoy VC Andrews novels you will love this. This is a quick, engrossing read that charms you in, then rips your heart out.

 Roxane Tepfer Sanford’s novel of betrayals, lost love, and shattered lives is intense, vivid, and unpredictable. The web which holds the plot together is reminiscent of V.C.Andrews’s Gothic style. I couldn’t put The Girl in the Lighthouse down once I started reading. I had to know more. A sequel All That Is Beautiful awaits publication. The beauty of childhood is ever fleeting for so many. "The Girl in the Lighthouse" tells the story of Lillian Arrington, a young girl who loses her dream life in a lighthouse to live under the thumb of an evil grandmother. Desiring to find her history, she finds her idealistic life has some truly nasty roots. "The Girl in the Lighthouse" is a solid and fine read for younger readers.
