A recently released novel 'Rachel's Shoe' set in the islands is tipped to be a future movie by some reviewers!
Atmospheric scenes from the period spanning the occupation to the upbeat 1970s are the backdrop to this riveting story about a young Jewish girl rescued from the German forces on Alderney by a local lad.
The author, local man Peter Lihou created his debut novel to capture the images he remembers from his grandparents who lived through the occupation years in Guernsey.
Pre-publication sales came in from as far away as Tasmania, Spain and several parts of the USA where interest in literature from this period remains high.
