I've been wanting to read this for some time, not because it sounded so fascinating, quite honestly, but because my Gram was born and raised on Guernsey and it is such a tiny little place that any literature about it seems amazing.
This book wasn't nearly as good as "Book of Ebenezer Le Page," the only other novel about Guernsey I've read, but it was enjoyable and interesting.
The characters were charming and funny and well-defined, the journal-and-letter method of storytelling was highly engaging, but the plot was fairly predictable.
In the book an English author stumbles across a story idea regarding how Guernsey was occupied by the Germans during World War II. She goes to the island, befriends her sources and falls in love, both with Guernsey and with an islander.
