Unabridged Audiobook
I love this book! Love all the characters, the narrators who bring them to life, and the perspective each one gives to the overall story. Even my husband liked it when we listened to it on a road trip, and he's not a fan of fiction in general. The story also shines a light on the occupation of the Channel Islands during WWII, which isn't something we often read about these days. I rarely listen to or read a book more than once, and I've listened to this twice.
A wonderfully sweet book
A beautiful story. I very much liked the style in which the book is written. It was a bit confusing at first but you catch on fairly quick to the letters going back and forth. Absolutely lovely story line.
I was struggling to read this (it's all letters) until I listened to the audio version. So good!
I LOVED the narrators of this book, all the different voices really helped you keep track of who's who.
Sweet, funny, entertaining.
Wonderful narrators! Was a thoroughly enjoyable listen!
Wonderful story. I had a little difficulty keeping things straight towards the middle, it managed to get it all worked out before the end.
This is a lovely story. The narrator is superb!
The story is exciting and uplifting, and of historical interest. The narrators do a great job, and the fact that there are several different voices makes it easy to follow and keep track of who's who. My only reason to deduct from the audiobook's score is the fact that there are glitches in a few places, where words and sentences are missing.
Great book, loved this so much more than the movie.
A story well told through letters, with a tender respect for the habitants of Guernsey Island as they in turn reflect and tell of their stories of times during and after WW2. The humour develops as do the characters with such delight. All leading to a satisfying ending that I was sad to finally realize. The narration, like the story was fabulous.
I love this book! It is a reread for me and I will probably listen to it again! The characters are delightful! The story ,told through the exchange of letters, adds charm to the story. It tells the history of the occupation of the Channel Islands during WWll. The narration is wonderful and brings each character to life!
This book had to be done in the format of letters, to prove its point that the printed word has the power alter our existence, even in the worst circumstances. Excellent narration!
Funny and wonderful!
Fantastic book!!!! I was worried that I wouldn't like that this book when I realized that it nothing but written letters but I completely fell in love with it. Well done!
Well written and interesting view of WW II. Format takes a bit getting used to, but overall a delightful book.
