Into the spaces between words, Stedman breathes an anxiety and pulsating intensity that roils with the ocean and the lighthouse beacon' Sydney Morning Herald. Tom Sherbourne, released from the horrors of the First World War, is now a lighthouse keeper, cocooned on a remote island with his young wife Izzy, who is content in everything but her failure to have a child. One April morning, a boat washes ashore carrying a dead man - and a crying baby. Safe from the real world, Tom and Izzy break the rules and follow their hearts.

I knew nothing about this book, but saw it in the Kindle Bookstore and it looked interesting. After reading it on my Kindle, I ordered the book so I could share it with all of my book-lover friends. So far, everyone who has read it loved it. It's a great story...
