It takes place in Guernsey, after WWII. Readers discover the island and it's inhabitants thru a series of letters. We learn about their strengths and bravery in very hard times. The entire book is nothing but letters, letters full of warmth, humor and humanity. As I was reading I couldn't wait to go on to the next one, to see what or whom I would discover.
I think these would be a great read for book groups, too.
I've pre-ordered, and sent this book to my Mom, my daughters, and my friend's daughter and daughter-in-law. That's how great it is.
I just finished this book last weekend. I loved it!
ReplyDeletei didn't think i'd like it either. my rule isn't two authors; it's no overly cute titles. (like "divine secrets of the ya ya sisterhood" or "the sweet potato pie whatever it was blah blah blah.")
ReplyDeletebut i loved this. it reminded me of "dear enemy." (have you read that? the sequel to "daddy longlegs"?) and it reminded me of "84 charing cross road."
