I read this earlier in the year, Mandy, and absolutely loved it. Poignant,
descriptive and powerful.
Enjoy.

Hi,
I've just downloaded this book with my credit for this month. I heard about
it on a book show I listen to on my favourite South African station and the
presenter Jenny raved about it. Any of you read it?
Here is the blurb:
Publisher's Summary
The crying persisted. The door of the lighthouse clanged in the distance,
and Tom's tall frame appeared on the gallery as he scanned the island with
the binoculars. 'Izzy!' he yelled, 'a boat!' He vanished and re-emerged at
ground level. 'It's a boat all right,' Tom declared. 'And - oh cripes!
There's a bloke, but -' The figure was motionless, yet the cries still rang
out. He hoisted out a woollen bundle: a woman's soft lavender cardigan
wrapped around a tiny, screaming infant.
Tom Sherbourne, released from the horrors of the First World War, is now a
lighthouse keeper, cocooned on a remote island with his young wife Izzy, who
is content in everything but her failure to have a child.
One April morning, a boat washes ashore carrying a dead man - and a crying
baby. Safe from the real world, Tom and Izzy break the rules and follow
their hearts.
It is a decision with devastating consequences.
