The Light Between Oceans

Thank you Barbara for the wonderful meal!  And for being flexible about our suddenly-changing weather.  So glad we were all able to get together. It was so nice to see everyone - and welcome back Chris P - we missed you. 

This book was enjoyed by all.  It was very well crafted.  The author included several points of view on many ideas which contributed to our interesting discussion about this story: good vs bad, life vs death, right vs wrong.  And the varied metaphors for the light were intriguing; a warning of danger, a place of safety, seen for miles yet what was near was always left in darkness.  Sunlight, moonlight; an ancient method of navigation, "every one of its flashes still traveling somewhere into the darkness far out toward the universe's edge".

Our next meeting will be at Debbie D's up-river on June 22 at 5:30pm.  Be sure to mark your calendars.  Looking forward to seeing you all there!
