One of those novels you never forget

I love this wonderful book... Just read it

One of Hill’s earlier, quieter masterpieces

Immediately arresting…you come away affected, but there is a quiet, unhurried pace which is, incongruously, a lovely and fitting touch

A brilliantly funny boy-meets-girl story

A moving, funny, all-too-relatable tale of boy seeking girl, with some gripping twists and turns...an unmissable read which will have you laughing out loud and melt your heart, all at once

A very clever twist on the age old story of boy meets girl...brilliantly-conceived, funny and moving

Looks set to be this summer's One Day...a delight

[one of] this year's coolest must-reads

Here’s a chance to look smug among the crowds of 50 Shades readers, and impress your partner with your devotion to romance novels. A brilliantly funny boy-meets-girl story

A light, heart-warming story of one man's struggle with life, work and finding true love

Danny Wallace’s long-awaited debut novel is so worth the wait… a moving, funny, all-too-relatable tale of boy seeking girl, with some gripping twists and turns… an unmissable read which will have you laughing out loud and melt your heart, all at once

My top tip for 2012's runaway success, with a very clever twist on the age old story of boy meets girl

Brilliantly-conceived, funny and moving

Like a tincture for sore minds. Captivating… certain to make you feel better about life

Looks set to be this summer's One Day...A delight

Mr. Wallace proves with this first novel that you can open the fridge and make something new…

A remarkable debut

Delicate and imaginative . . . beautifully written . . . deserves every single bit of its success

Like a lighthouse, [The Light Between Oceans] shines a light in dark places, and its emotional resonance will stay with you for days

A thought-provoking debut novel . . . this beautifully delineated tale of love and loss, right and wrong, and what we will do for the happiness of those most dear to us, is moving without being maudlin

An extraordinary and heart-rending book about good people, tragic decisions, and the beauty found in each of them

Mesmerising...the sheer passion and poetry of Stedman's prose carries us on a wave of emotion and heartbreak.

The Light Between Oceans unfurls in small acts, at first feeling slight to touch, then building in emotional substance. Into the spaces between words, Stedman breathes an anxiety and pulsating intensity that roils with the ocean and the lighthouse beacon.

Pick of the month: The memorable and moving tale of one couple’s search for happiness

A description of the extraordinary, sustaining power of a marriage to bind two people together in love, through the most emotionally harrowing circumstances.

The characters are beautifully drawn...A completely unique read. ****

Book of the Week. Critics are buzzing about The Light Between Oceans, the gripping debut from M L Stedman.
