In September 2015 we read The Light Between Oceans
Winner of the 2013 ABIA Book of the Year
In 1926 Tom Sherbourne is a young
lighthouse keeper on a remote island off Western Australia. The only
inhabitants of Janus Rock, he and his wife, Isabel, live a quiet life
cocooned, from the rest of the world.
Then one April morning a boat washes
ashore carrying a dead man and a crying infant – and the path of
the couple's lives hits an unthinkable crossroad.
Only years later do they discover the
devastating consequences of the decision they made that day – as
the baby's real story unfolds.
OUR STAR RATING:
In a Few Words:
Tragic; Sad; Rollercoaster of emotions; A Moral Dilemma
Our hostess for Book Club on this occasion was Marlene. She was very inventive in providing our morning tea with an 'ocean theme' to compliment our book discussion. She provided:
- Prawn & Crab dip with added baby shrimp with simple vegetable crudités
- Smoked oysters with dill sprigs, and seaweed rice crackers
- Cheese board with King Island aged cheddar, herbed chive cream cheese, quince paste, grapes, nuts and water crackers
- Rock cakes w/sultanas and cranberries
- Chocolate shells
- and some real shells strewn on the table-cloth for a little added effect!
Very well done, Marlene, it was much appreciated by all.
