Written by two authors this book is comprised of a series of letters and telegraphs from various people telling the story through correspondence. Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows do an amazing job weaving a story of an island free from the Nazi’s and trying to get back to normal while remembering the past. Check it out HERE.

There is the lady who started it all… the society and triggered so many events through her decisions and actions… she who is missing still at the beginning of the book and remembered and discussed by those her knew her. But by the end of it all you feel like you knew her! 

Yet the main character is another woman, a writer who is, due to the coincidence of a book bought and sold to another from London. And so many more characters and I mean CHARACTERS… both on the island and back in London and by extension Scotland…

I seriously do not want to give away too much… but what I can say is that while I usually do not enjoy this style of storytelling this book held my interest and then some. Each and every character has life… and the settings are amazing. The war is discussed from such a unique position… there is so much more than just the main storyline going on to. And the movement from the current time the book is placed on to the past and back is so smooth. An amazing post war book! 

A GREAT read!
