The Japan Lights (Paperback)
Maloney, Iain (Author)
Available for Order
£9.99
In 2017, holed up in a hotel room, feverish, despondent and aimless, Iain Maloney chances upon an article about Richard Henry Brunton, a Victorian civil engineer unknown in his Scottish homeland but considered 'The Father of Japanese Lighthouses' in Japan. With more than twenty of his lighthouses still in use today, Maloney sets out with newfound purpose to visit them all. Part travel memoir, part history, 'The Japan Lights' visits isolated regions of rural Japan, discovering compelling stories from its past.
