Book Review of The Light Between Oceans

The Light Between Oceans
reviewed on + 81 more book reviews


An extremely difficult book for me to read. It was so sad, from beginning to end. I kept hoping for things to turn around, but it became more and more obvious there could not be a happy ending. And, there were no bad guys, just normal human beings making life decisions that led them further and further into despair. Having said all that, it was extremely well written. Must have been to have evoked all that emotion from me. So, when giving this a rating I was torn between the quality of writing and my personal taste in reading material. Hence the middle-of-the-road 3.
