Not read it yet, although been on my pile for years!
My mum loved it, once she’d worked out what was going on?

I tried reading it about 3 or 4 years ago and couldn’t get into it, I gave up and left it. I started it again recently and despite finding it difficult to get into it ended up absolutely loving it. I’m looking forward to seeing the film now!

Yes it really does look like a good film which is what got me interested in the book as I would want to read it before seeing the film….

If you want to read authentic novels about Guernsey during WWII and contemporary times, I highly recommend The Guernsey Novels by Anne Allen – Author https://amzn.to/2HRUaMR

I tried it and couldn’t get into it, letters format put me off. But then tried again and read it in a day! Learned so much about Guernsey and I’ve been working there over past year on and off- loved it!
