One April morning, and shortly after her third miscarriage, a profoundly sad Isabel hears a baby crying in the distance. A few months later they get married and begin their life together as the only two inhabitants of Janus Rock.ĭeeply in love with each other and with their life on the island, they soon try to start a family with no success. During one of his visits to Point Partageuse in mainland Australia, he meets Isabel Graysmark, and they fall in love. Sherbourne returns to Australia after four years on the WWI front and, looking to leave the horrors of war behind, takes up a job as a lighthouse keeper in the fictional island of Janus Rock. As well as about how helping someone at some point can make a big difference down the road. It is also a story of how decisions we make today can shatter someone else’s life and eventually put us at a crossroads in the future. It is the story of Tom Sherbourne and what he did (or rather, conceded to) in order for the love of his life to be fully happy - even if it meant going against his moral principles and what he stood for.
More than a love story, it is a story about love. She thought I would enjoy it and was right - once I picked it up, it was hard for me to put down. A good friend of mine gave me this book for my birthday as it is one of her favorites.
