'This book is the perfect example of a novel that leaves you shouting Three Cheers without it ever once fudging the darker side of experience. 'II' She handles both her research and her invented characters with such a gusto and aplomb that truth and fiction become seamless' Mavis Cheek 'I absolutely adored it. The tone is so light and perfect that I fell in love with all the characters just as she does. Heaven' Esther Freud 'Moving, authentic and funny. The grimness of war-time existence in occupied Guernsey and the human tragedies that occurred are balanced by the courage, humour and matter-of-factness of the members of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Sociery' Paul Torday, author of

in the Yemen 'This gem of a book is nllI of characters to fall in love with. Light and bright and funny, but surprisingly moving ...

I'd say it's one to be savored,

but I couldn't help but devour it all in one sitting - I defy you to put it down' Marie Phillips, author of Gods

Behaving

Badly 'Absolutely stunningly good - superb!

I think it's brilliant and totally

authentic. The way it begins so lightly, amusingly -and grows and spreads organically, and deepens and darkens -each voice coming in like instruments in an orchestra -it is so layered

And the feel

of wartime and just after the war ended -it's exactly as

I remembered

it in this country'

Emma Smith, author of
