What a strange phenomenon. Out of the blue wends this quirky little book set in Guernsey. American, Mary Ann Shaffer visited Guernsey in 1976 and was fascinated by the stories of the German Occupation.
On her return to her native America she the book which is set in the Occupation years; essentially a story of strange circumstance under the German jack boot and, of course, love. The book has taken America by storm and has put our little island firmly on the map; adding real interest in the island as a destination.
So we had an idea. Lets read some "chick lit" and map the book of the island. For those of you who have read the tome we provide you with every instance where a place is mentioned; mainly set in St Martin's parish.
Have a flick through the Google Map of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Society map and discover the island for yourselves
