This book is horribly sad, but basically it is about love and what love can bring you and what love can take away. All the characters were sad and had been dealt a rough blow by life. Just the circumstances of living in Australia at the end of World War I, of choosing to live as a lighthouse keeper and of having the bad luck of not being able to give birth to living children. I sympathized with every character, Tom, Isabel, Lucy, Hannah, even the small characters. But, at the of the day this book was slow, sad and not much fun to read.
