The Latest version of Rachel's Shoe Nestled in the bay of St Malo,
the Channel Islands claim the unique, if unenviable distinction of
being the only part of Britain to have been occupied by a foreign
power in hundreds of years. Life in the islands during the five
years under the Jackboot was hard and freedoms severely curtailed,
but the spirit of a teenage Guernsey boy called Tom Le Breton was
never dampened. This is the story of a dramatic wartime rescue and
the romance that grew between Tom and a young Jewish girl
imprisoned on the nearby island of Alderney. The story moves from
those dangerous but somehow magical days to the heady 1970s when
long-since forgotten events return to haunt a small family now
settled on the Western coast of Guernsey. Impregnated with the
atmosphere of remote islands and their unique history, Rachel's
Shoe is an adventure story about the survival of innocence in a
world dominated by obsessions for power and wealth.
