The Light Between Oceans

     
by M.L. Stedman




This month's book was a gripping tale of love and despair. Even though the book was full of sadness (we all admitted to some tears), it was a real page-turner since the resolution to the conflict was so unpredictable. Stedman is an amazing writer - we all agreed that her descriptions of Janus Rock were wonderful, we could really picture the island. We sympathized with both Isabel and Hannah, as well as the child, so even though we didn't agree with Isabel's decisions it was hard to find fault with her given her situation.

We met at Boba World in Bountiful for a delicious Chinese dinner. The food was amazing! We tried beef noodles, pineapple shrimp, sweet and sour chicken and sauteed green beans - all were wonderful! Two in our group tried the Boba drinks and both enjoyed them.
