À propos de cet audio

 The captivating and beautiful years-long New York Times bestseller and major motion picture, now in a gorgeous new package designed for the modern reader.

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.

Beautifully written, poignant story with significant emotional depth. Stedman has a brilliant command of language and not only tells a beautiful story, she tells it in a beautiful way. This had me conflicted about ideas of right and wrong, one moment rooting for one side, then next, the other. The capacity to write these perspectives in such a balanced, heartfelt way is brilliant. I have to admit to getting a little teary at the end... but I promise, you won't be disappointed! #Audible1
