The Light Between Oceans is a simple yet almost ingeniously original tale about, as the book's blurb has it, 'right and wrong, and how they sometimes look the same'. Set in 1920s Australia, it is the story of Tom Sherbourne, a solitary war veteran turned lighthouse-keeper, and Isabel, his young wife.
the mesopelagic, or twilight, zone: a dim zone where some light penetrates, but not enough for plants to grow. the bathypelagic, or midnight, zone: the deep ocean layer where no light penetrates. the abyssal zone: the pitch-black bottom layer of the ocean; the water here is almost freezing and its pressure is immense. the hadal zone: the waters found in the ocean's deepest trenches. Plants are found only in the sunlit zone where there is enough light for photosynthesis, however, animals are found at all depths of the oceans though their numbers are greater near the surface where food is plentiful.
