Too heartwarming for me - [06 Oct 2009]
Nazi occupation lite. It had a sort of charm, but everyone was just so plucky. Reminded me of the Herriot books--treacly.

Hits a jarringly wrong note - [05 Oct 2009]
I'm interested in the wartime history of the Channel Islands and had this book highly recommended by a friend, so I really wanted to like it. Alas, I couldn't get past the first few pages because Juliet's voice seemed so patently wrong for the time and...

A Wonderful Read in Every Way - [04 Oct 2009]
This book was a true joy to read. I found it hard to put down as I grew to care so much about each of these characters and their lives. The format is entirely told through letters between many different characters living in the Channel Islands during ...

In my personal top ten list of best books I've ever read! - [04 Oct 2009]
I don't believe I've laughed and cried as much in the same book _ever_. What an astounding book. There is so much between the covers of this book that I'm amazed it's not 1,000 pages. There's history, drama, romance, tragedy, hope and resilience all packaged...

History made easy - [04 Oct 2009]
This book provides an easy way to learn the history of the War and the area. Many facts new to me were presented. At times, it was a bit confusing as to which person was writing. However, I enjoyed the diary format.

A surprisingly good book - [18 Sep 2009]
The epistolary format of this novel doesn't necessarily lend itself to an audiobook format. Letters are meant to be read, not listened to. Maybe because of that, I had a difficult time getting into this novel at first. The beginning seemed a tad slow....
