by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
This book caught me by surprise. I love WWII history and I thought the format of the book - written as a series of letters - would be interesting. I wasn't prepared to totally fall in love with Guernsey and all the quirky people who live there.
This book was so good I never wanted it to end. It is about the occupation of the German army during WWII on the Island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. It is written from the perspective of a female author, Juliet Ashton, in the form of letters to and from Juliet to various people including her editor, her best friend and eventually to the people of the Literary Society on Guernsey.
The society is mainly composed of Isola, Amelia, Eben, Dawnsey, Booker and Elizabeth. This book was so filled with facts about the occupation and how people lived during those times I found it fascinating. I can’t recommend it enough.
If you like history from that time period, read this book. You'll love it!
