The Book of Ebenezer Le Page by G. B. Edwards
4.0
This is an excellent work. Ebenezer is incredibly real and very entertaining. And poor Raymond! I know he's fictional, but enough real people suffered for the same reason. I want to go back in time and rescue him.
For that matter, I want to go back to Guernsey and visit or revisit all the places that are mentioned in the book. Edwards makes the place so vivid.
There's one bit in the introduction which makes me laugh:
"The ubiquitous contempt for England and the English (and outsiders in general, even the sister Channel Island of Jersey) must similarly be taken in a metaphorical way"
Lmao, no. Not metaphorical in the least. Fowles is clearly not an islander himself, or he would know that
