Publisher's Summary:
The crying persisted. The door of the lighthouse clanged in the distance, and Tom's tall frame appeared on the gallery as he scanned the island with the binoculars. 'Izzy!' he yelled, 'a boat!' He vanished and re-emerged at ground level. 'It's a boat all right,' Tom declared. 'And oh cripes! There's a bloke, but ' The figure was motionless, yet the cries still rang out. He hoisted out a woollen bundle: a woman's soft lavender cardigan wrapped around a tiny, screaming infant.
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.
It is a decision with devastating consequences.
Australian actor NOAH TAYLOR made his name in critically acclaimed films such as The Year My Voice Broke and Shine, and has also appeared in high-profile blockbusters such as the two Lara Croft Tomb Raider films and Tim Burtons Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He recently starred in the accomplished British comedy Submarine.

The light between oceans
Beautifully written and read. A gripping', heartwarming story written very sensitively. I couldn't stop listening
Falls between 2 oceans
I don't know this author, and though I read the reviews about the difficulty hearing the audible reader, it looked good. However, it missed me.
A special read
A beautifully written story which is read with skill and charm by Noah Taylor. His lovely gentle tone is perfect. This novel is thought provoking and poignant and portrays a past time with such skill that one doesn't want it to end. An absolutely unforgettable read. Ten out of ten.
Love
I have titled this review love because in my view it is such an exploration of love and its many forms,Men and Women, child to parent parents to children and Parents to grown up children.
I loved it it was beautiful I would love it to be made into a film.
Only negative was the narration which I struggled with at first but give it time and its just perfect.....
Great story, very descriptive & extremely moving!
Noah Taylor's narration, enhances by a mile this audiobook, he captured the emotions so well, I felt he had a tear in his eye @ times by the crack in his voice & I felt obliged to join in! A really great story, well written with very descriptive text, a favourite of mine!
