Tom has survived the Western Front. Isabel has survived the loss of three babies. Hannah is waiting for a husband and daughter who have vanished without trace.
On a remote island off the coast of Australia, lighthouse keeper Tom and his wife Isabel are trying to build a life together. They love each other deeply, but their hopes of having a family have ended again and again in heartbreak.
Then a boat washes ashore.
Inside is a dead man and a crying baby.
For Isabel, the child feels like a miracle. For Tom, keeping her means crossing a line he knows they can never uncross. And somewhere on the mainland, another woman is still hoping that her missing baby might come home.
Three lives. One beloved child. And an impossible choice between love and what is right.
Heartbreaking, unforgettable and profoundly moving, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS is a story of love, loss and the terrible consequences of following your heart.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Prepare for a good old-fashioned and hugely cathartic cry. When World War I veteran Tom and his new wife, Isabel, take up residence in the lighthouse on Australia's remote Janus Rock, their future prospects seem as infinite as the sea that surrounds them. From this memorable premise, Australian author M.L. Stedman spins out a twisty plot that pulls no punches, upending Tom and Isabel's life and keeping them—and us—guessing at their eventual fate. At once heartbreaking and stubbornly hopeful, The Light Between Oceans is a love story and a morality tale that’s not surprisingly been turned into a movie.
