About

When the island of Guernsey is invaded by the Nazis, two sisters are determined to rebel in any way they can. But when forced to take in a German soldier, they are shocked to find a familiar face on their doorstep — a childhood friend who has now become their enemy. Two generations later, Lucy returns to Guernsey after the death of a distant cousin. As she prepares the old family house for sale, Lucy discovers a box of handwritten notes, one word standing out: Lucy's search for the author will uncover the story of a forgotten sister who vanished from the island one night, never to be seen again. 'Paints an evocative picture of the bravery, fortitude and heart-breaking decisions of two British sisters living under German occupation on the beautiful island of Guernsey during WWII' Adrienne Chin, author of 'With a descriptive backdrop this story offers intrigue and tender romance. Highly recommended' Glynis Peters, author of 'A heart-rending, devastating, beautiful book that brings Guernsey's past to life in a fresh and thoroughly readable way' Louise Douglas, author of 'A sweeping tale of love and courage, The Girl from the Island is tender and shocking in equal measure.
