“My local book group chose this title, and based on descriptions from other readers I wasn't sure it would suit me, but in the end I liked it fine. Told in letters, the story revolves around a writer in search of a book. She finds a book club, a topic to write about and true love. The characters are appealing, if a little predictable, and I learned more than I already knew about the Channel Islands and their occupation by German troops in World War II. My only reservation is that the book is a little predictable and sentimental. Don't tell anyone I said so, or I'll be outcast.”
