This prismatic novel begins in 1946, when the inhabitants of an island in the English Channel, which had been occupied by the Nazis, begin corresponding with a London writer about their experiences. Told entirely through the vehicle of their letters, the novel vividly captures a sense of time and place, along with the personalities of the correspondents. The underpinnings of the story are a strong sense of the value of the written word, and the greatness of the human spirit.
