The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
4.0
This book - so many emotions.
M.L Stedman writes so beautifully and her characters as well as their choices, life events, and thoughts are so devastating and haunting. The island of Janus becomes a character in of itself, its isolation the beauty and safety of the removal of human community makes it a paradise for the Sherbourne family as they hide their secret from the community at large. When they return to the mainland there is a sense of danger and pain that they all experience. This book makes you question right and wrong as well as the depths of human connection, what is stronger more significant the family you build or the family you were born into? At the same time Stedman manages to have the reader question the meaning of life and death.
I highly recommend this book as long as you have a tissue box nearby.
