Gerald Basil Edwards is a one-novel writer, and even that was published against his wishes. But what a wonderful novel! The Book of Ebenezer Le Page, which appeared five years after the author’s death, is a rich throwback to an earlier age of novel-writing, with vivid characters, a million interrelated stories, and, coincidentally, one of our only fictional portraits of the isle of Guernsey. This is one of our very favorite books of all time.

Suggested Reading Novel The Book of Ebenezer Le Page, 1981.
