An Island at War

A moving historical novel set during the German occupation of the Channel Islands in WWII. In June 1940, as the German army prepares to invade, little sister Rosie is sent to the UK for safety. Her older sister, Estelle Le Maistre, is left behind on Jersey to help her grandmother run the family farm. When the Germans occupy the island, life changes completely, forcing Estelle and the islanders to face the stark reality of life under Nazi rule. The novel is a story of courage, resilience, and everyday acts of defiance from ordinary people, inspired by real-life stories of the occupation, and is interspersed with letters or diary entries from Rosie in London.
