Based on one of the most daring escapes of WW II, although fiction the historical facts are true. I knew very little about the occupation of the Channel Islands but what initially attracted me was the mention of Devonshire' s Slapton Sands which I had often visited and was the training place for the D-Day Landings. The story has many exciting twists and turns and the ending is not easy to foretell. Lighthearted and enjoyable.
