The Light Between Oceans meets The Snow Child in this novel set in a Scottish village in the weeks after a young boy mysteriously washes up on shore, causing the buried secrets of the insular community to come to light and rekindling an old love story. "Breathtaking. An exquisitely written, pitch-perfect look at love and shame, what is lost and what is found." --Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle and Hang the Moon It's 1900 and Skerry, a small Scottish fishing village, is destined for an unyielding winter. During a storm, a young boy washes up on the shore. He bears an uncanny resemblance to teacher Dorothy's son, lost to the sea at the same age many years before, his body never found. The village is soon snowed in, and Dorothy agrees to look after the child until they can uncover the mystery of his origins. But over time, the lines between reality and desperate hope start to blur as the boy reminds Dorothy more and more of her own lost child. The boy's arrival also finally forces Dorothy to face the truth about her brief but passionate love affair with Joseph, the fisherman who found the boy on the shore and who has been the subject of whispers connecting him to the drowning of Dorothy's son years earlier. As the past rises to meet the present, long-buried secrets are unearthed within this tight-knit community, and the child's arrival becomes a catalyst for something far greater than any of them could imagine.

Skottland, vinteren 1900. En liten gutt blir skylt opp på stranden i en liten fiskerlandsby i Skottland. Han er bare så vidt i live, og har en uhyggelig likhet med den lille sønnen til skolelæreren Dorothy, som forsvant på havet mange år tidligere. Siden det er vinter og snø, og landsbyen nærmest er isolert fra omverdenen, går Dorothy med på å passe på gutten til han kan returneres til foreldrene sine. I begynnelsen snakker han ikke, men snart får de to et tett bånd. Men praten går i landsbyen, og det er slett ikke alle som synes det er en god idé at barnet blir boende hos Dorothy. En inderlig kjærlighetshistorie som fordyper seg i sorg og håp, og om kreftene som kan ulme i ondsinnet landsbysladder.
