The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society

I just finished this book, and was delightfully surprised at how good it was. This book was recommended to me by my aunt. It's set in London and Guernsey (a British island) in 1946 after WWII. The entire book is written as a series of letters between Juliet Ashton, a writer, the residents of Guernsey Island, and Juliet's editor and friends. Juliet is looking for her next book subject, and receives a letter from a man she's never met who lives on Guernsey, and she then begins to exchange letters with the residents of the island. I highly recommend this book - you won't be disappointed.

I agree with you both. I read this when it first came out and I still have the plot in my mind. So many of them I forget by the end of a year.

Absolutely a terrific book. Makes you want to travel to the Gurnsey Island and study more about the world war.

I too loved, loved this book. When I first started it, I thought I wouldn't like it because of the format it was written in but it proved me wrong.

Exactly a year later, so I would like to remind readers of a wonderful book by resurrecting this post by ko48888 ~ this book is a treasure, and one I bought after 1st borrowing it from the library. Some books are just delicious. I've read it twice.

Our neighborhood book club read this book last month. Reaction was pretty much uniform for all of us, we didn't like the first part but really liked the second half. :) I'd recommend it, but not to everybody.
