I had heard of it, in passing. Never really gave it much thought. But, it turns out, that when I tapped this book on the shoulder at the library one autumn afternoon, I found the exact book I wanted to read at that very moment.
Now, I'm not usually one for a story told through correspondence (my main issue with Possession). I tend to be too impatient to let the plot develop in such limited snapshots. But this book, with its multiple narrators and just plain likeable characters, had me at the first salutation. It also contains some fascinating historical perspectives of WWII. If you haven't read it yet (and I know I'm behind the times on this one...) try it out. It would fit in wonderfully with a blustery afternoon and a hot cup of tea.
