I nearly gave up on this book, it starts off so very slowly. I'm glad I stuck with it, though, even if it did turn me into a sniffly mess. The story is about a married couple, Tom and Isabel, who are lighthouse keepers and unable to have children of their own. Tom is a world war one veteran who finds a boat washed up on his small island one day, containing the body of a dead man and a very young infant. At it's heart, this story is all about consequences and how one small act of kindness leads to another and another until it's too late. Be warned, this book will rip your heart out and then come back for more. You'll want kleenex for the second half of the book. A great read.
