A spectacularly sure storyteller . . . Reading The Light Between Oceans is a total-immersion experience, extraordinarily moving.
Monica Ali, author of BRICK LANE and LOVE MARRIAGE
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

Grazia Magazine
The characters are beautifully drawn . . . A completely unique read.
