Your family’s never in your past. You carry it around with you everywhere,’ Tom tells Isabel. Consider the meaning of ‘family’ in the novel.

It’s too easy to justify to ourselves what we want to do rather than what we’re pretty sure we should do – no, that’s wrong – we know exactly what we should do. We just can’t bear to think about it. . . yet. Like Scarlet O’Hara, we’ll think about it tomorrow. When they visit Isabel's parents in Partageuse they learn that the mother of the baby is alive. Isabel refuses to surrender Lucy, but Tom regrets his conscience and decides to do something and hide it from his wife.
Are right and wrong absolutes, or do they change depending on your point of view? If they are not fixed points, how do you decide what’s right and what’s wrong, and what happens when your values differ from your neighbours’? On the Offshore Lights you can live any story you want to tell yourself, and no one will say you’re wrong: not the seagulls, not the prisms, not the wind. A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. One April morning a boat washes ashore carrying a dead man and a crying baby. Safe from the real world Tom and Izzy break the rules and follow their hearts. This would make a great holiday read as its is pure escasism and while I normally love historicall novels rich in facts and information I loved this book just for its story and the emotion of it.The Romance: There is no romance in this book. It is a love borne out of madness and obsession. It is a love that is full of mindless devotion on Doormat's part, with pure emotional manipulation on Batshit's part. “How can you be so hard-hearted? All you care about is your rules and your ships and your bloody light.” These were accusations Tom had heard before, when, wild with grief after her miscarriages, Isabel had let loose her rage against the only person there—the man who continued to do his duty, who comforted her as best he could, but kept his own grieving to himself.Doormat's mad devotion to his wife will eventually be his own downfall, and as we will learn towards the climax of the book, that love is truly a one-way street.
Tom is torn between not hurting those he loves, and following the rules. Is it ever wrong to obey the law? If so, when? McNary, Dave (February 9, 2016).

Retrieved February 10, 2016.This is really a plot driven novel and the author really just gets on with telling her story and does not bog the book down with too many unnecessary adjectives which was refreshing, in other words a good story simply told.
They had been like that for a good while when Tom entered the kitchen. “How’s the—” He stopped in mid-sentence, arrested at the sight. Richard Roeper (August 30, 2016). " 'The Light Between Oceans': Soap gets in your teary eyes". Chicago Sun-Times.
