The Book Of Ebenezer Le Page
What you need to know before your trail
Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the stories of those he has known. He writes of family secrets and feuds, unforgettable friendships and friendships betrayed, love glimpsed and lost.

Travel Guide
Guernsey
Although a fictional account of the island, the events affecting this island are accurately evoked such as the period of German Occupation during World War 2.
The book is an homage to the ever-changing times on Guernsey
Guernsey, Guernesey, Garnsai, Sarnia: so they say. Well I don;t know , I’m sure. The olderI get and the more I learn, the more I know I don’t know nothing, me. I am the oldest on the island, I think.
I have seen the same thing happen to dozens of Guernsey boys. They’re just busting to get away from the island; and, when they do get away, they’re breaking their hearts to come back. that’s why I have never left Guernsey, me. I would only end up where I begun.”
