He only wished this latest did not involve his father.
Delightful coda to the book.

Summary: “The war is being fought elsewhere. Not here, not on these islands.”
Post July 1944, the war comes home to the starving people of Guernsey. Unconventional circumstances compel Colonel Richter and Dr Martel to stand in the gap.
Martel and Richter get to literally experience what it is to be in each other's shoes. This manages to combine pure tropeyness & the occasional humour of it with a particularly tough historical moment for the Islanders and the general tone of the show excellently.

Summary: The Hensey House Hotel was a quaint place, similar in size to Button House, the sitting room transformed into the lobby. It was a lot like what she and Mike had been hoping to do—which was why she was here, for a bit of research.
Feels just like part of an episode, and is therefore funny and sweet and made me smile throughout.

Summary: Perhaps Silver's specialty in fixing broken things is not limited to machines.
Or, Silver helps to save different days in different ways.
Gorgeous, weird and touching look at Silver and other Elements and how things change and don't change between them mixed in with some brilliant little assignments. (I especially like the bit with the dinosaurs.) (My gift, but obv. it is the most awesome; I'm not biased.)

Absolutely gorgeous drabble sequence that catches the timeslip/dreams/memories aspect of the book so well.
