This book is pretty dense and took me a while to finish. The narrator, Ebenezer le Page, tells the story of his life on the Channel island of Guernsey through both world wars, and his lost loves and friendships. It's written in Guernsey dialect, which was enjoyable to read, but the absence of a streamlined plot made it slow going. However, the ending tied it all together and I finished the final page with a big smile on my face.
It frightened me how easily I related to this book.

Oh, come off it, all you haters who think this is sappy.
I usually like Maeve's books and this one was entertaining, but a little light on the plot. I have liked some of her other ones better. Still, worth the time if you like Binchy.
