The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

                                    

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society I just finished this up last night. I'd say out of 5 stars I'd give it a 3.75. I enjoyed this book. I feel like a better person for reading it. But at first it was hard for me to get into. It's a book about many characters which you get to know through their letter writing. So at first I found that a little overwhelming. It's also very smartsy fartsy, talks about classic literature alot, which doesn't always interest me. But the core of it, the characters, you do come to care about. It takes place after the German Occupation of a little Island called Guernsey. The people of Guernsey come to life slowly and their stories come out and some of the hardships they endure from the war. I found it riveting in the end. I also found that I still care about the characters after I read the book. Which is a very good thing. A charming little book.
