Book Review: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie SocietyThe Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I never would have picked this book for myself, so I am so glad my book club picked it for me! I loved it! Wonderful, charming characters that were revealed so cleverly through the letter format of the book. A sweet love story. Brilliant hommages to books and reading. Interesting and heart-wrenching facts about WWII and the aftermath. This book has it all.

Hi Christine! Thank you for your comment! My book club has been going just under a year, so we haven't read all that many yet, but two everyone has loved so far were: Austenland by Shannon Hale, and Mr. Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange (Make sure it's Amanda Grange or you'll get some very un-Austen like stuff!). These are both Jane Austen - centric, but we enjoyed them. Happy Reading!
