I so enjoyed this epistolary tale (and I like the word "epistolary" very much, too!) set on the Island of Guernsey off the coast of France shortly after the end of WWII.
Juliet is a writer/newspaper columnist who is searching for ideas for her next book. Her research connects her with a group of individuals (some a little quirky) from Guernsey who formed a literary society while under occupation by the Germans. It is through this connection that Juliet discovers a variety of stories from and about the members--stories of survival, of compassion, and of love.
The collection of letters and telegrams are filled with humor, interesting observations, and a few oddballs. I couldn't put it down.
