I was search for Committed (Sequel to Eat, Pray, Love) when I came across this novel. Elizabeth Gilbert's review was on the front cover, "Treat yourself to this book......I can't recommend it highly enough." That was all i needed and I walked out of Target with this book in my hand.
She was right. It was a treat. The novel consists of letters and letters only. They are centered around Juliet who is trying to write another book and receives a letter from Dawsey and her journey begins. The book takes place right after WW2 and tells many tragedies that happened in the Island of Guernsey. I don't know the truth to these tales though.
Despite the tragedies the book is very charming and delightful. It'll make you use words such as ghastly and want to speak in a British accent for prolong periods of time. Everyone should read this. I've never felt more joy from a book than from this one.
