Buchvorstellung: The light between Oceans
Guten Morgen ihr Sternentänzer ✨
ich bin schon wieder total verliebt in einen #Neuzugang, und wieder ist es ein englisches Buch. The Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman ist das Buch zum gleichnamigen #Film, den ich mir bewusst noch nicht angesehen habe, weil ich vom Buch nur Gutes gehört habe. Es ist so wunderschön und ich freue mich schon wahnsinnig auf die Lektüre. Wollt ihr mal in den #Klappentext reinschnuppern? Here we go:
"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."
