I found this book through a “blind date with a book” and quickly was surprised and happy by the letter format and the characters of the book. I’ve always been a reader, so by learning this fictional story of a literary society during German occupation and the effect of the occupation on Guernsey Island. I loved all of the characters, but I especially love the references to classic literature and the comparison between the ending couple and Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
