M.L. Stedman’s The Light Between Oceans , released in August 2012 by Scribner, is a haunting historical fiction novel that explores the devastating consequences of a moral choice made by a lighthouse keeper and his wife. Plot Overview
Set in the 1920s on Janus Rock, a remote island off the coast of Western Australia, the story follows Tom Sherbourne, a war-weary World War I veteran seeking peace in isolation. He is joined by his bold wife, Isabel, whose spirit is nearly broken by three consecutive miscarriages and a stillbirth.
Their quiet life is upended when a boat washes ashore carrying a dead man and a living infant. Isabel, desperate for a child, convinces Tom not to report the incident and to raise the baby—whom they name Lucy—as their own. Two years later, upon returning to the mainland, they discover the child’s biological mother, Hannah, is alive and grieving, forcing them to confront the moral weight of their "gift from God".
