Review Excerpt:

"Libby capably and confidently weaves a pitch-perfect novel out of the
facts surrounding the oppression of the Jews on the island and the
resistance movement set up by surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel
Moore (Lucille and Suzanne). It's gripping, heart-rending reading and as
you read the original and progressively more bewildering edicts issued
by the Nazis against the Jews you realise again, as if you needed
reminding, just how ridiculously terrible it all was.Considering this is
research transformed it all sat very comfortably as I read, no ten tons
of obstructively heavy or thesis-like information to detract."
