In spite of being "turned off" by the title, this was a sweet little book, easy to read and several of my friends had recommended it. The format is in letter form which I often do not find appealing. This time it was a good way to tell the story. Interesting characters, a part of the world not often used as the setting for a story. I think I would designate this a "chick flick" sort of book, not one many guys would find interesting even if it does refer to WW2 and describes the occupation of Guernsey by the Germans. Having just read "THe Postmistress" which is also set in the same time period and is based on the WW2 bombing of England, I found it interesting to compare the two stories. Not a great book but worth reading.
