LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS

In 1918, after serving in WWI, Tom Sherbourne welcomes his quiet job as lighthouse keeper on Australia’s remote Janus Rock, as does his loving new wife. But three years later, a childless Isabel is bereft after suffering her third miscarriage. Tending the new grave, Isabel hears the cry of a baby; a boat has washed ashore with a dead man—and a living infant….

Two years later, little Lucy has become the center of the Sherbournes’ world. But their happiness turns when a trip to the mainland brings the discovery that she was not orphaned…and a desperate woman still seeks her vanished daughter. M.L. Stedman’s extraordinary debut, The Light Between Oceans, is a riveting tale of good intentions and heartbreaking consequences.
