The Light Between Oceans

The years-long New York Times bestseller soon to be a major motion picture from Spielberg’s Dreamworks is “irresistible…seductive…with a high concept plot that keeps you riveted from the first page” (O, The Oprah Magazine).

“An extraordinary and heart-rending book about good people, tragic decisions, and the beauty found in each of them.”  –  Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief

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. 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 in the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby.
