About this product
Product Information
The years-long New York Times bestseller and 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 ). 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 on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby. Tom, who keeps meticulous records and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. 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. 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.

Reviews
"As time passes the harder the decision becomes to undo and the more towering is its impact. This is the story of its terrible consequences. But it is also a description of the extraordinary, sustaining power of a marriage to bind two people together in love, through the most emotionally harrowing circumstances." -Victoria Moore, The Daily Mail, "The miraculous arrival of a child in the life of a barren couple delivers profound love but also the seeds of destruction. Moral dilemmas don't come more exquisite than the one around which Australian novelist Stedman constructs her debut." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review, "M.L. Stedman's The Light Between Oceans is a beautiful novel about isolation and courage in the face of enormous loss. It gets into your heart stealthily, until you stop hoping the characters will make different choices and find you can only watch, transfixed, as every conceivable choice becomes an impossible one. I couldn't look away from the page and then I couldn't see it, through tears. It's a stunning debut." --Maile Meloy, author of Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It, eoeElegantly renderedeheart-wrenchingethe relationship between Tom and Isabel, in particular, is beautifully drawn.e, "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, "The miraculous arrival of a child in the life of a barren couple delivers profound love but also the seeds of destruction. Moral dilemmas don't come more exquisite than the one around which Australian novelist Stedman constructs her debut." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review, eoeWhat an extraordinary book this is. Tom, traumatised on the western front, takes a job as lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, 100 miles off the Australian coast between the Indian and Southern oceans, where he hopes that the vast surrounding emptiness will bring him peace. When after three years and as many miscarriages his wife hears a baby's cry and discovers a dead man and a baby in a washed up dinghy, she feels her prayers have been answered. The ensuing tragedy is as inevitable as Hardy at his most doom-laden. And as unforgettable.e e"Sue Arnold, Guardian, eoeThis heartbreaking debut from M L Stedman is a gem of a book that you'll have trouble putting downe e" Good Housekeeping, "This fine, suspenseful debut explores desperation, morality, and loss, and considers the damaging ways in which we store our private sorrows, and the consequences of such terrible secrets." -- Martha Stewart Whole Living, "Irresistible...seductive...a high concept plot that keeps you riveted from the first page." e"Sara Nelson, O , the Oprah magazine, eoeThis fine, suspenseful debut explores desperation, morality, and loss, and considers the damaging ways in which we store our private sorrows, and the consequences of such terrible secrets.e e" Martha Stewart Whole Living, Elegantly rendered...heart-wrenching...the relationship between Tom and Isabel, in particular, is beautifully drawn., "Irresistible...seductive...a high concept plot that keeps you riveted from the first page." -Sara Nelson, O , the Oprah magazine, "M.L.

Purchased a bulk amount of books and couldn’t be happier. Only thing I have to complain about is the barcode stickers that were placed on the spine of every single book—even the ones that were raw paper hardcovers which ripped off the title lettering on the books. Plastic based stickers would have been a better choice as they wouldn’t have ripped or left residue as much. Shipping was free media mail, and it did take 2 weeks to get to me, but I expected that.
