This book brought such delight to my days as I read it. The entire narrative is related via letters between the characters. I loved the character development, the witty writing, the setting on Guernsey, learning about WW II's impact on the Channel islands, and being reminded of the art of letter writing.
Author Juliet Ashton, residing in London, receives a letter from a gentleman on Guernsey Island, stating he has one of her old books (her name & address was pasted on the inside front cover) and asking her to write him a note with the name of London bookshop so he can order more books. This letter opens a new life for Juliet-new writing ideas and new friends.
I wanted to highly recommend this book but-Considerations: one character is gay (it mentions two times that he is -not graphic details nor is there a focus on it), when discussing predestination, one character says God is a devil if it is true (referring to Him allowing the Holocaust).
-I own this book (I bought it w/out knowing about the above considerations. Someone I trusted recommended it . . .why I ususally try to borrow and read a book 1st before buying it!)
