Helpful Score: 3

This story takes place in Australia after WW1. A young soldier home from the war marries a young women and they go to live at a Lighthouse. It is very remote and isolating. Both characters face tremendous loss. They make a choice that shatters their lives and many others. It is sad and heart wrenching, as you wish that this couple would have made a different choice. However, you remain transfixed until the end. This is a story about how as humans we make choices for many good reasons, but fail to realize that does not necessarily mean that they are the right ones.
