Jan. 8, 2016, Book: 'The Light Between Oceans' by M.L. Stedman

Tifiny will be kicking off our first meeting in 2016, which is also our sixth year as a book club! Wow the time goes by, does it not?

The book will be "The Light Between Oceans" by M.L. Stedman. Here is an excerpt of the description from Amazon.com:

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.

What? This sounds intriguing.
