The Book

Lighthouse keeper Tom Sherbourne and his wife Isabel find a baby girl washed ashore and decide to raise her as their own, with devastating consequences.

The Film

A lighthouse keeper and his wife living off the coast of Western Australia raise a baby they rescue from a drifting rowing boat. Their decision leads to profound consequences that challenge their morality and love.

Key Differences

The film condenses some of the novel's timeline for pacing. Some minor characters are omitted or merged in the film. The internal thoughts and moral dilemmas are less explored visually compared to the book.

Our Verdict

Enjoy both!

Both the film and book offer compelling experiences, with the film providing a visually rich and emotional adaptation while the book offers deeper insight into characters' inner lives. Experiencing both enriches understanding and appreciation of the story.
