⭐️ 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.
