I enjoyed this book. Light reading, mostly. But also some details about life during WW2 on this island in the English Channel. I see there is a movie coming out too. Do you enjoy books that are just a collection of letters? If so, you'll enjoy this. Appropriate even for my teen granddaughter. There are lots of interesting posts on the internet to go with this book: maps, Potato Peel Pie recipe, lists of all the books mentioned within the book, lists of other books that are collections of letters.
When looking for a photo of the book cover on the internet, I found this blog...a blogger made it her New Year's resolution to read a book a week in 2010. She got a journal-type calendar, drew a sketch of each book cover and a description of the book on the opposite page. I can't wait to go through her year of books. If she's read this one I bet she has read other treasures too. hmmm I wonder if I could do this...http://amultitudeofcounsellors.blogspot.com (go to 2010 entries.)
