The Light Between the Oceans by M L Stedman

I read this during the 2020 lockdown.
It was given to me by Kay, not the usual type of book I would have picked up myself
A boat washes up on the shore of a remote lighthouse keeper's island. it holds a dead man and a baby. the two slanders who have lost several babies to miscarriage decide to keep the baby as their own.
Happy and devastatingly sad consequences happen after their decision.
A happy and sad and moving portrayal of mother child relationships
