The Light Between Oceans A Novel

After four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on the isolated Janus Rock. He brings with him his young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Following two miscarriages and a stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby's cries on the wind and discovers a boat washed up on shore carrying a dead man and a living baby. Tom, whose moral principles are strong, wants to report the man and infant immediately. However, Isabel is desperate for a child and insists the baby is a "gift from God." Against Tom's judgment, they claim the infant as their own and name her Lucy. When they return to the mainland years later, they are confronted with the devastating consequences of their choice, realizing their secret has profoundly hurt a grieving mother in the world.
