He’s connected telling his father about the car in front of the house with his parents splitting up, but he doesn’t know that the car implies another man and his mother’s infidelity. When he’s young, he felt responsible for his parents split, but he doesn’t understand what he did. Tom was a very difficult character for me to understand. I think the characters are a good place to start the analysis. We found it interesting that the only lawyer in the book, the man who represents Tom, was portrayed very favorably in the book. From the few interviews she’s given, Stedman comes off as a very private person, not wanting to talk about herself in interviews and preferring to stick to the plot of her books. She was born and raised in Western Australia, where the book takes place. The author herself is a very interesting character. I wrote a review of this book a few weeks ago and if you didn’t read it, you can view it here and see how much I absolutely loved it. My book club met to discuss The Light Between Oceans just before Christmas.
