I truly enjoyed this epistolary novel about the German Occupation of the English Channel Island, Guernsey, and how it affected the endearing islanders. Mostly told (post WW II)by Juliet, a charming London writer, who befriends and falls in love with the members of a small literary club and their beloved Guernsey Island. An excellent read...

My grandmother, who passed away at 98 in 2008, remembered gypsies staying periodically on her uncle's land near her own family's farm when she was a little girl. As I've always wanted to learn more about the history of gypsies, I was delighted to discover this book just recently in a consignment shop.
