I never knew much about the Channel Islands near the UK. I didn’t know how much the people there suffered during WWII. Great story, heartbreaking, but inspiring. The story moved along well. Good character development. Highly recommend if you are interested in the history of Jersey during WWII.

This was a thoroughly engrossing novel which I had a hard time putting down when I had to get dinner or prop my feet up after surgery, etc. it is heartbreaking to experience the tragedy of war along with the characters in this book and exhilarating when families and lovers are reunited. The description of the deprivation of people during the war, in the internment camps, etc. made what these people experienced very vivid and made me appreciate even more all the luxuries that many of us are lucky enough to have in our lives. I hardly recommend this book, especially to World War II enthusiasts.

The plot is great! Everyone should read this book in order to understand the realities of war. This helps readers appreciate our freedoms of today, while being better informed about wartime events that no history book exposes. God bless freedom!
