Customer Reviews

it has stuck in my mind

I read this book a while ago and it is one that has left a lasting impression on me. The story line has already been told by the others reviewers and it is a compelling story. What has lasted with me is the fact that it took place during World War II on an English island, Jersey, under Nazi occupation. Homes were taken over and food became scarce for both the Germans and the people living on Jersey. It was a revealing read on the survival of war-time occupation. It also had mystery, romance and drama. I highly recommend this book.
