As a librarian, I often find myself telling friends don't buy that book - just get it from the library! However, this magnificent tribute to Washington, D.C.'s Scurlock Studio is one of those very few books I tell people to check out from the library and then buy a copy for themselves.

This is a great, fun read (or listen, in my case!) It takes place soon after the end of World War II in London and on the island of Guernsey. It;s told through letters written to and from a young woman. I hated to see this one end.
