Description
Erakordselt liigutav lugu inimestest, kes otsivad oma kohta maailmas, kus ühe inimese õigus on teise jaoks traagiline kaotus. Tom Sherbourne on Lääne-Austraalia ranniku lähistel Janus Rocki saare majakavaht. Kui laine toob kaldale sõudepaadi, milles on väike tüdruk, otsustab Tom koos oma noore abikaasaga lapse üles kasvatada. See otsus raputab aga aastate pärast paljude elusid.
Raamatu põhjal on 2016 sügisel valminud samanimeline film, kus peaosades superstaarid Alicia Vikander, Michael Fassbender ja Rachel Weisz.
Rahvusvaheline menuk, mis on ilmunud rohkem kui 40 keeles ja mida on müüdud üle 2 miljoni raamatu.
„Üdini ilus ja traagiline raamat, mille kaks peategelast on niivõrd mõjusad, et kannavad sinu ja su südame avaleheküljelt kuni päris viimaseni välja.”

⭐️ 2.5-3To begin with, I think a 3 star rating is a little generous. Particularly since I was bored to tears by the first 100 pages or so of this book, which detailed Tom Sherbourne's childhood and wartime experiences. The chunks of information about how lighthouses work and descriptions of landscapes thrown into the story didn't help either.About half way through the book, around Part 2, things pick up once the baby is discovered and the couple decides to keep the baby, a decision I became increasingly frustrated with as the book progressed on.For me, the writing and execution of this book aren't the problem; it's the decision and the rationale behind the couple's decision to keep the child that made me uneasy. Also, I didn't find this book particularly memorable or exciting.As a whole, I found this book to be just okay: well-written, but too slow-moving, especially in Part 1, and with a plot line that was morally ambiguous.
