World War II. Books. The Channel Islands. 

What else could we ask for? Kate Thompson delivered a wonderfully crafted story of family, love, betrayal and hope. The character development made me feel as though I were talking to friends. I especially loved how this book didn't end when the occupation ended. I loved learning more about what happened after for those key characters. This should go on every historical fiction readers list!
