From enchanting cliff tops and white sandy bays to the pretty cobbled streets of St Helier, Jersey is known as the land of milk and honey. But for best friends Bea Rose, the local postwoman, and Grace Le Motte, who works in the island's only library, it becomes the frontline to everyday resistance when their beloved island is occupied by German forces in 1940. Inspired by astonishing true events, THE WARTIME BOOK CLUB is an unforgettable story of everyday bravery and resistance, full of romance, drama, and camaraderie and a tribute to the joy of reading and the power of books in our darkest hour.

Set in St Helier, Jersey
during the nazi occupation of the channel islands... The Wartime Book Club is a story of how books, & ordinary people doing extraordinary things can save lives! A story of bravery and survival, of commitment and dedication, of friendship & love. Of family, and what makes up a family. I enjoyed this book so much! Side note... I would love to see this story. Continue with Grace's granddaughter Poppy, & her island bookstore!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It‘s a real page turner - I was always eager to pick it up to read a few more pages. It‘s beautifully written and well researched. It‘s a tale of friendship, grit, resistance and the power of books, how they can soothe and comfort us in our darkest hours. If you enjoy historical fact combined with fiction and just a great story, you will love this one. I can highly recommend it. #TBC on Facebook
