"Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad books."
one of the many quotes that caught my attention from this entertaining and educating book.
It concerns the German occupation of this this small island in the English Channel during World War II.
One of the islanders says, "We thought we'd be in the audience like, not be on the stage itself."
As, in my own life, their saving grace was the love of reading, many of them having never read before.
