Title: The Lighthouse Keeper’s Letters

Level: Intermediate (B2)

#Story :

Eliza, a recently divorced woman, retreats to a quiet seaside cottage in Merrow Bay to find peace and solitude. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a mysterious letter addressed to "Amelia" — a name not her own — hidden inside an old book. The letter, written decades earlier by a lighthouse keeper named Jonathan, speaks of longing and lost love. Soon, more letters appear, deepening the mystery and drawing Eliza into a connection that transcends time. As she uncovers clues from the past — including photographs and a painting of a woman who looks exactly like her — she begins to relive memories that aren't hers. Her dreams and reality blur until she finds herself in another time, reliving a forgotten love. Through this haunting and romantic mystery, Eliza discovers that she may be Amelia reborn, drawn once more to fulfill a promise made long ago. In the end, she realizes that true love never fades — it waits, quietly, through time.
