The Light Between Oceans

Synopsis

This is a story of right and wrong, and how sometimes they look the same. 1926: Tom Sherbourne is a young lighthouse keeper on a remote island off Western Australia. The only inhabitants of Janus Rock, he and his wife Isabel live a quiet life, cocooned from the rest of the world. One April morning a boat washes ashore carrying a dead man and a crying infant - and the path of the couple's lives hits an unthinkable crossroads. Only years later do they discover the devastating consequences of the decision they made that day - as the baby's real story unfolds.

You know those books where within a few sentences you feel like you've plunged into a warm bath because the writing is that good? This book gave me that warm bath feeling right away even though the story itself is one of heartbreak, isolation and hardship.

For the light keeper who likes the solitude and his young wife who struggles with the loneliness, the arrival of a small baby in the arms of a deadman in a boat presents a dilemma that had me with the characters right to the end.
