Old man with a critical eye, to his home, friends & times
This is an out-of-the-ordinary story, drawing you in, to a world, a way of life, with its moods, characters and culture, and more. A microcosm of our evolving times, 'twixt Britain and mainland Europe, this island ecosystem and its intricacies, sketched out in vivid, emotive detail; friendships gained and gone, old ways buried under modern times, paradises found, lost, found again maybe. A modern Greek saga, set within the confines of the Channel Islands, life magnified in a compelling narrative, harsh yet humorous, glorious and intimate, moving and memorable. A highly personal "autobiography", a critical observer of life, played out as a profound symphony. One of the best books that I have ever had the privilege of reading, one of only a handful that has left such a deep impression on me.

Hard to put down
One of my favourite books. Written with a wry sense of humour. Life from the point of view of a Guernseyman over approx 80 years.
