The Light Between Oceans

The Light Between Oceans was not even in my radar until I heard about the film. And when I saw it at the airport (probably Dubai but I'm not sure) I picked it up and I'm glad that I did because it turned out to be a very emotional read. The prose is light and easy but the emotions are heavy and brutal. Also this is one of the novels in which I didn't like the main characters at all. Their actions truly left me baffled and I never once supported them wanting them to eat their just desserts. However the situation in the story is a complex one and by the end I was crying (shamelessly on the street where I just had to finish it after work before going for a walk). Definitely recommended.
