pickI found the first 2/3 of the story slow but as it was based on true people & events I pressed on. The last 1/3 of the book I found most exciting & dramatic & I thoroughly loved reading this part of the book, easily feeling drawn in & lost in the story.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. I researched the island Jersey & it's map to get a better picture of the location of the story & it has now become one of my bucket list travel destinations!
Kimberlone There‘s a British miniseries about the Channel Islands during world war 2 called Island at War. If you liked this book you might enjoy the series... 4y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @Kimberlone oh cool! What a great suggestion, thank you, I'll have a look for it! 4y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @Kimberlone I've found them on YouTube. Just watched the first one. Very upsetting for the Island but interesting to learn about. I look forward to watching them all. Thanks again for suggesting this miniseries 😊 4y
Kimberlone @Curiouser_and_curiouser awesome it‘s been years since I watched it but I remember being super surprised to learn about this aspect of WWII that I had no idea about! This book also explores the experience of German occupation on the Channel Islands![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
