The Light Between Oceans

Helpful Score: 5


(Setting of Australia after World War One; Historical context, and details about working as a lighthouse keeper were interesting; lots of great imagery of both the lighthouse and the Janus Rock Island it is located; a Quality and above average emotional Read (heavy with sadness and Loss, mental and physical isolation, and recovery), good character development; and the moral dilemma of the story is not easily answered as fully right or wrong, Lastly, the Introductory chapters were awkward with their presentation, but definitely a compelling, satisfying, and complete read thereafter).

Overall, I give it a Rating of 3.5/5.0
