On the small island of Janus Rock off the coast of Australia where the Indian Ocean and the Great Southern Ocean meet, Tom tends the Light while trying to put four years on the Western front behind him.  To this desolate place he brings his young, adored wife Isabel who apprediates the beauty of the land and the Light and accepts the peaceful isolation.  However, after two miscarriages and a stillbirth, Isabel is consumed with grief.   While tending the newest grave she hears the distant cries of an infant.  Tom discovers a boat has washed up in the cove carrying a dead man and a very much alive baby.  The decisions they make in the next hours have consequences far beyond their rocky home.  You’ll enjoy The Light Between Oceans for its compelling characters, lovely descriptive language and fascinating turns of events.  (Scribner, 2012.  hdc. $25)
