The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very simple prose with some hints of poetry and an artfully polished narrative that shines and shines until it is blinding. The moral dilemma of the novel is built in layers that remind us that good and bad are often neither simple nor self-evident. Stedman tells the story of Tom, a survivor of WWI and a good man who, as a civilian, must make choices as morally complex as those he made in the trenches. A compelling read.
