L. --Malissa Kent. The baby seems like a gift from God, and the couple’s reasoning for keeping her seduces the reader into entering the waters of treacherous morality even as Tom--whose moral code withstood the horrors of World War I--begins to waver. Stedman’s vivid characters and gorgeous descriptions of the solitude of Janus Rock and of the unpredictable Australian frontier create a perfect backdrop for the tale of longing, loss, and the overwhelming love for a child that is The Light Between Oceans.

Their choice has devastated one of them.. AFTER FOUR HARROWING YEARS ON THE WESTERN Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, nearly half a day's journey from the coast. But Isabel insists the baby is a "gift from God," and against Tom's judgment, they claim her as their own and name her Lucy. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby's cries on the wind. When she is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world. Tom, who keeps meticulous records and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby

M.L. Stedman was born and raised in Western Australia, her discriptions of the coast of Australia are beautifully rendered. The beginning of the book takes place on an island off of the coast of mainland Australia. Stedman does an excellent job of setting us in a remote spot. She also draws her characters so well that one finds themselves thinking of them between readings. They and their problems become realone . "Be Prepared to Cry Oceans of Tears!" according to Bookwormshawn. Though I did a fair deal of crying and was emotionally wrought throughout, I absolutely loved this work! The characters were relatable, imperfect. The plot was complex and emotional, but not cheap and manipulative by any means. Rather than feeling that I was supposed to think or feel something, I felt Stedman was entertaining a dialogue, one in which I was free to make my own judgments. I also absolutely loved the gorgeous prose and stylistic quirks woven throughout the work, such as the use of present tense in the first paragraph of each new scene and subsequent shift to past as the action unfolds. Sted. Frustrating. This was a frustrating "nobody wins" story, and the ending was very anticlimactic. I wished that the author had done a better job in connecting the main character's war service and his overwhelming desire to tell the truth. The war service and awards for valor were almost irrelevant to those decisions, in my opinion.The first two-thirds of the book were very good, but the final third showed some difficulty in bringing all the facets of the story to a conclusion. So, in my opinion, the book sort of hobbled across the finish line, exhausted.
