I have not heard of either the movie or the book. I truely live in Darkest Africa (figuratively and factually). I'm off to the library on Monday and hope that they can source it for me. This monoku piqued my interest. Have a great weekend :)

Hi Suzette! So wonderful to know that this monoku introduced you to this amazing story of the island of Guernsey during WWII. I hope your library will help you track down either the book or the movie. Have a wonderful weekend! Blessings!

Hi Arlo! So good to hear from you! I agree. It is a fantastic book of resilience and courage under conditions we can't imagine and hopefully never have to experience. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it. Was hard to decide which of my favorite books to write about, but this one kept coming to the surface. Now I can't wait to see the movie! Gratitude and blessings!!
