For an even more generous helping of Channel Islands fare, you might try The Book of Ebenezer Le Page by G B Edwards

You might also enjoy The Book of Ebenezer Le Page by G. B. Edwards, also set in Guernsey for its wonderful characters, atmosphere and deliberate pace of life. And a pretty darn good story.
Nice review! I agree, this was a cute read! Looking forward to checking out the movie now.
Glad you enjoyed this! I’ve seen the comparison to 84 Charing Cross Road a couple times now so I’m going to look for that book because Guernsey entertained me so much <3
