This is a lovely book. Saw the film on the TV last week and discovered that our next door neighbour had given the book (twice) to Paddy for Xmas. So we have at least one copy.
An epistolary novel, cleverly structured to meet this: starts heroine in London literary agent, her old friend his sister, and the post war Guernsey residents she has befriended, almost by chance. In part 2 she is in Guernsey and corresponds, as do some of her new friends. Essentially the story of the occupation of Guernsey by the Germans in WW2, but also a nice modern love story of a woman who visits and falls in love with the island. Very good!
