New Book

July 13, 2009 by tina.

Here is my latest book report. The book was “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer. I was nervous to read this one because the librarian told me it was about the German occupation of the island of Guernsey. Our book club has read a lot of books about World War II and as you can imagine, they are a little bit difficult to stomach. But it was a wonderful book! It is set in 1946, so the occupation is over, and the whole thing is written in the form of letters, most from the main character to others and back. She, our main character, is a writer who happens to start a correspondence with a man on the island of Guernsey and member of their literary society. Again, I don’t want to give too much away so I’ll just say that the characters are witty and quirky and totally lovable and I found it to be a sweet read! I never did find a recipe to potato peel pie however…
