"What a treasure! What a find! Like an especially beautiful time-travel device, Appointment with Venus took me back to the Channel Islands during World War II, where I revelled in every character (even the bovine ones) and every twist of fate that befell them." Annie Barrows, co-author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society "Appointment with Venus is one of best books written to show what might have happened if Britain had been occupied, as much for what is glossed over and romanticised as included. I strongly recommend a read." Anne Sebba, New York Times bestselling biographer and author of The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz, Les Parisiennes and Ethel Rosenberg. It is 1940. The world is at war and all that stands between England and Nazi-occupied Europe is the tiny (fictitious) Channel Island of Armorel, controlled by the Nazis but still home to loyal villagers, a pacifist painter ... and a pedigree Guernsey cow named Venus. This hugely entertaining wartime classic, published in a beautiful gift hardback edition, is introduced by Rosa Rankin-Gee, author of the debut novel The Last Kings of Sark and the bestselling Dreamland (currently in adaptation as a 6-part TV series for the BBC)
