The Light Between Oceans
Categories: Literature & Fiction
In 1926, after four years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne becomes lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, an island off the coast of Western Australia, and brings his young wife, Isabel. After two miscarriages and a stillbirth, Isabel hears a baby crying: a boat has washed ashore with a dead man and a living infant. Against Tom's principles, they keep the child and name her Lucy, a choice whose consequences M. L. Stedman's debut novel traces on the mainland.
