This book was like nothing I have ever read before. Almost the entire story is told through letters, and even then we do not see all of the letters. At first I was skeptical of how it would work out, especially as it becomes more romantic. But my worrying turned out to be all in vain, the storyline was amazing and I cannot see how it could have worked any other way!!
Not only does it have amazing insight in to the German Occupation in the Channel Island, but it has a wonderfully romantic ending. I personally had never known that the Germans played such a large role in this area and I found the book to be very knowledgeable. Despite the fact that the story itself is fictitious, it does not mean that all of the events that are told are. This is my favorite aspect of this book. It is telling the truth about a historical event through fiction, making the events themselves so much more realistic. I can easily see all of the characters existing in some shape or form and living through the German Occupation as they did.
