Wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book. Turns out I loved it. The Guernsey Island, off the English & French coasts, was occupied during WWII by the Germans. This book covers life on the island during "The Occupation" and afterward - told entirely through correspondence between the main characters. What a lovely book dealing with a difficult topic. Focuses on what they did to get by and the love and hope that got them through. I thoroughly recommend this book!
