4.5

Such a unique book, in terms of writing style, setting and story. It made me feel like I was there in Guernsey, and at the same time, longing to visit. The place and the people are written in such a way that they feel immediately familiar, which gives the story (even though it is relatively simple) such a warmness—a playful and enjoyable read.
