Amazon Best Books of the Month, August 2012:

Tom
Sherbourne is a lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, a tiny island a half
day’s boat journey from the coast of Western Australia. When a baby
washes up in a rowboat, he and his young wife Isabel decide to raise the
child as their own. 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. M. L. 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. –Malissa Kent

The debut of a stunning new voice in fiction— a novel both heartbreaking and transcendent

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.
