The island in question is Guernsey, during the German occupation in the Second World War, and the book itself is part thriller, part love story, and wholly engrossing on the subject of occupation and its moral choices. Who can be confident today how he or she would have behaved under such circumstances?
Capturing the essence of life under occupation with fine description of character and a taut plot - with heart-stopping twists and turns in the way in which people behave and react - 'Island Madness' is tense, compassionate, surprising and moving.
