The story

In December 1918, Tom Sherbourne – a traumatised and withdrawn hero of World War I – is hired as a lightkeeper at Janus Rock, a lighthouse off the coast of Australia.

Tom knows that he is required by law to report the discovery.

He writes anonymously to Hannah to tell her that her husband is dead but that her infant daughter is safe, loved and well cared for.
