My mom and Grandmother were over the moon about it, so I was curious to see just how good of a book it actually was.
It was so touching. I had never looked at how World War II had affected the Channel Islands. Truth be told, I wasn't really familiar with the Channel Islands before this book. I definitely recommend it to everyone and anyone. It even made me appreciate the little child character (Kit was her name, she seemed just too cute for words).
"...you make me happy, you never bore me, you're interested in the things I'm interested in..." p.153, I feel this is such a beautiful way to explain how you love someone
"I've got no time to be profound" p.170
"One year as his wife, and I'd have become one of those abject quaking women who look at their husbands when someone asks them a question." p.214
"institutional amnesia" p. 250, just a great phrase, describing France after the war
"This obsession with dignity can ruin your life if you let it." p.274
