A Brief History of Montmaray by Michelle Cooper

Take a small crumbling castle on an out-of-the way island. Fill the castle with a king who "rules" over a dwindling kingdom, and an odd assortment of characters. Add in a few Nazis who show up suddenly and Sophie, a young girl who is keeping her own history of Montmaray and you have the makings for a historical fiction novel with a bizarre story line. Not the fastest read or the most exciting, but it definitely has a quirkiness about it that makes it an entertaining book. Grab a cup of tea, sit back and relax and enjoy the read. Perfect for a cozy afternoon on the sofa.
