I just read the original novel in English that friends advised me. What a surprise! This epistolary novel reads with real pleasure from beginning to end. The situations, intrigues, literary references are introduced with subtlety and humor by the authors of the letters which gradually come into contact with each others.They give desire, if we could go into fiction and the events of Us years of the second world war, to go visit them in Guernsey and to share with them their memories, their literary tastes and concerns. The epistolary form do not mind and helps to strengthen the authenticity and sincerity of the characters. Anyway, here's a word to enjoy during the summer. I bought the book in French for friends and the French translation is good. No need to love the potato peelings or be keen on literature to join the Circle!
