Great Book! The time period of the book was the WWII occupation of Guernsey Island by the German troups. Many of the island people endured great suffering during this time.
However, the cleverness of the writing, and the humor that is sprinkled throughout lighten the tone of the book. The story of the islanders is told through correspondence with an author that becomes interested in the people of the island, and the Literary Society of some of the inhabitants. Also, the descriptions of the people, the island, and the ocean are told in word pictures. Did I mention this was a great book?
