The book before the film…
The Light Between Oceans
by M. L. Stedman
I recently saw a trailer for this film (opening this weekend) and I vaguely remembered I had a copy somewhere and unearthed it in my toppling stacks collection of TBRs.
Curious, but also a firm believer in reading the book before seeing the film, I gave it go.
The Light Between Oceans just plain riveting, it’s got me hooked. I’m on the last third of the book, so a review will follow.
So, before venturing to the theater this weekend, may I suggest you venture instead to your local independent bookstore or your local library and read the The Light Between Oceans first. I’ll be telling you why shortly.

In the meantime, Husband and I are headed to the Sierras for a week-long hiking trip.
Before you imagine us lugging big packs and sleeping bags, it’s going to be a week of day hikes. Each hike to be followed by a soak in a hot tub, a refreshing shower and a nice meal before falling into a real, bonafide bed. (The vision of the hot tub is all that keeps me going for the last 2-3 miles, the mantra in my head “hot tub, hot tub… repeat”.)
There’s also this ~~
I rest my case…
