Recommended book to read

The novel is about Tom, a soldier-turned-lightkeeper, and his new bride Isabel. Together they live in a completely isolated world – an island to share only with a lighthouse. And there, they dream big dreams of family and togetherness and children running through their house and exploring their island…

Dreams that are ultimately unfulfilled, fabricated, and finally dashed.

Instead of being on an island of hope and light, Isabel finds herself isolated while she loses pregnancy after pregnancy. She suffers two miscarriages and one stillbirth. Suddenly the island around her becomes as empty and as her womb and it amplifies her loneliness as her husband tries to understand how to relate to her.
