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 and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, 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. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby.
Tom, whose records as a lighthouse keeper are meticulous and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. But Isabel has taken the tiny baby to her breast. Against Tom’s judgment, they claim her as their own and name her Lucy. When she is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world. Their choice has devastated one of them.
M. L. Stedman’s mesmerizing, beautifully written novel seduces us into accommodating Isabel’s decision to keep this “gift from God.” And we are swept into a story about extraordinarily compelling characters seeking to find their North Star in a world where there is no right answer, where justice for one person is another’s tragic loss.
The Light Between Oceans is exquisite and unforgettable, a deeply moving novel

Time isn't healing. Love is.
评分是先听了Desplat的OST,才找到这本书。对于战争创伤的背景寥寥几笔,点到为止。固然是俗套的剧情,人性,爱,救赎,牺牲,对于这些过于饱满的善,用了几乎滥情的描写,Isabel泛滥的母爱和隐瞒孩子身世的两面性貌似是书中人物稀有的厚度。孤独的守岛人,大海上的灯塔,这种频频使用的“人设”让优美的文笔显得刻意和做作。韩剧一般的剧情反转,Tom为爱情而背锅,生母和养母之争,让我无法从这本书中找到感动。
评分实在是。。看不下去了。。。。
