My only question is why I waited so long to read this!
I started, and really had a rouogh time stopping long enough to do mundane things like sleep or go to work.
Set in the "epistlatory" style, a series of letters between many folks, and we watch the story unfold, AND relive the horrorsof the German occupation of Guernsey during World War 2. Happily for me, it is in the past, so we know things are now fine, but we do experience some tragedy as it happens. All in all, probaby one of the two best contemporary novels I've read in the alst several years!
