Absolutely loved this. All the rave reviews were right - this book is a delight. An entire book written in letters isn't a new concept, but it is extremely well done here. The main characters are fleshed out well enough that you get a good feel for who they are. The plot is, at heart, a love story, but with so much more going on that it falls easily into the category of historical fiction. I had no idea what/who/where Guernsey was before I read this book and learning of its history thru this delightful tale was one of the best reading experiences I've had in years. I was sad when it came to an end and very sorry to learn that the author is no longer with us to write more of these. I want a whole series of Guernsey books, but re-reading this one once a year will have to do.
