When I first started the book I thought the letter format would be a distraction and I would not be able to get into the story. I was wrong! After the first few letters I was hooked, and grew increasingly more hooked as the book went on.
I saw the Masterpiece Theater Mini-series Island at War before I read the book, so I could see the island in my mind's eye as I read. I strongly recommend pairing the movie with the book; two different stories about German occupation of the channel islands, both very well done.

I was not at all sure what to expect with this book given the strange name. I ended up listening to it on audio and I cant imagine it any other way.Audio was a perfect way to express the authors intentions with different voices reading for different characters. The readers were WONDERFUL and the story was a refreshing and different take on WWII and the German occupation. I highly recommend the audio version if you dont hear the different "voices" in your imagination while reading. I see why it was on the best seller list for so long.
