hardcover, mine, 278 pages
I'll have to blog later. I'm running out of time! Excellent book. Swept me up.
Later:
Told entirely in letters, this story of a young woman dealing with post-WWII emotions captivated me. Juliet Ashton is the central character who is drawn to the island of Guernsey, which was occupied by German forces during the war. Just a lovely, lovely book! There were times I almost made a "cheat sheet" of all the different characters, but I read it quickly enough (on the beach in Naples, Florida) that I was able to keep it all straight. The romance, the history, the characters - all made it a delightful read! This is our CMSW book club title for March. I look forward to the discussion!

I just finished this one not too long ago!! I picked it up about a month ago and read 10 pages and set it down because I couldn't follow. I think it was just a bad time, because I picked it up after Sarah said you were doing it for book club and loved it this time. I really fell in love with the island!
