Shortly after the end of World War II, writer Juliet Ashton is looking for a subject for her new book. She receives a letter from a man who lives on the Isle of Guernsey. He found her name in a book and wrote to ask her about it. She begins a correspondence with him and several others on the island who tell about their lives in Guernsey during the war.

I heard a lot of good things about this book, so I thought I'd give it a try. I listened to over two hours of the audiobook and wasn't even sure what the story was about. The whole story is letters. Though some of the letters were amusing, I was having a hard time following the story. This book wasn't for me. My rating: DNF.
