“Aahhh...delightful. I love books about books, which this is. Also, it's a book of conversations (my favorite part to read in a book). Well, letters actually. But letters are like conversations, except maybe even better. I love how some one can express their feelings towards another very DIRECTLY in a letter. Anyway, the writers of the letters in this book do so tenderly and coherently. It'll have you cursing text messaging and email by the end.
It's a light and easy read, but I didn't take away any stars for that since the author's style was such a pleasure. Be prepared for some sorrow woven throughout; the author does shed a little light on the German occupation of the British Isles during WW2.”
“Absolutely loved this book based on the German Occupation of the Island of Guernsey. Wonderful characters.”
