This is a serious book of modern literature. In only 123 pages, Fitzgerald delivers portraits of unforgettable characters in a difficult situation when an "outsider" retiree opens a bookstore in 1959 in a small English hamlet, Hardborough--foreshadowing intended. What can be accomplished in so few pages is remarkable. And the book rises in my estimation every week since I've finished reading it. It's an eye-opener.

This book is a gem! An English writer exchanges letters with
people on Guernsey (one of the Channel Islands)who describe the life of the village during German occupation in WWII.
She writes to her editor friend, her best friend--his sister, the American editor interested in her... yes, and they write back!Interesting, charming, sad, romantic... this story has it all.

This was an enjoyable introduction to Nevada Barr. Lots of familiarity with rangers and how they operate in the desert.
Strong female lead...interesting (and a bit far-fetched?) characters.
