It’s a story from the point of view of LucyGrace who recall all the past with love

Septimus taught Hannah to forgive others. Like him forgive the others rejecting German. Hannah forgive Isabel and let them take care of Grace(Lucy) and set Tom free from Jail.

Isabel insist to enter the lighthouse even push Tom to marry her. We can see how stubborn she is. She will try all her best to gain what she want, so many

Tom went through PTDS(Post-war syndrome) which caused disturbing thought, feeling and threats to personal life. That’s why Tom wanna hide into the lighthouse. "If the war had taught us anything, it was to take nothing for granted: that it wasnt safe to put off what mattered. Life could snatch away the things you treasured, and there was no getting them back. What we can cherish is here and now.

Letter is a good bridge between people

I read, and understand this much:
if ink sees off time and miles, then so must love.- Hugh McMillan

Letter can cure wound of time. Letter can wait for the changes. Letter can be with you all alone and calm you down.

Researchers at University of Arizona say your body will de-stress if you take out a pen and paper and write down your feelings for someone. It doesnt even have to be romantic. It can be to a friend or coworker, but researchers say doing this can help strengthen your immune system and lower cholesterol and blood pressure.(R.1)

Isabel’s love towards Lucy is a lack of isolation, she doesn’t know how to deal with herself. Like Tom said: God already forgave you, you just need to forgive yourself. She can’t accept she has nothing. She used to have anything she wants. She deserves everything. Even she has gone through miscarriages, she still learn from the lesson, and try more wrong ways to get what she wants.

“There are still more days to travel in this life. And he knows that the man who makes the journey has been shaped by every day and every person along the way. Scars are just another kind of memory....Soon enough the days will close over their lives, the grass will grow over their graves, until their story is just an unvisited headstone.” ― M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

Frank Roennfeldt: You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day.

"A bit of brass doesnt make anyone a hero" (Page 36).

"He must turn to something solid, because if he didnt, who knew where his mind or his soul could blow way to, like a balloon without a ballast" (Page 40).

"If the war had taught her anything, it was to take nothing for granted: that it wasnt safe to put off what mattered Life could snatch away the things you treasured, and there was no getting them back. She began to feel an urgency, a need to seize an opportunity. Before anyone else did" (Page 56).

"Such a mysterious business, motherhood. How brave a woman must be to endure it" (Page 75).

I respect Gwen a lot, it seems to me that he gain nothing, but he get everything. Like the role of God. He shows Hannah and her daughter the great moral for us to follow.
