The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
A #1 New York Times Bestseller and now a Netflix film, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society tells the remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German Occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name. Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.

I became so mesmerized by the setting of this book that I talked James into taking a boat from France to Guernsey Island (British Isles) so we could spend a few days there.
I absolutely loved this book! I have to admit, I was a little nervous about the epistolary style. But I think it absolutely enhanced the story telling. I am anxiously awaiting the movie release.
I thought that the story itself was good but the book was abit over-hyped. I was expecting extraordinary, but to me, it was just "good."
I had a hard time getting into the feel of this book. An entire novel written in letters wasn't something I thought I'd enjoy. This book was referred to me by a roommate I once had and I had put it off for several years.
The journey this took me one is indescribable. The suffering, the aftermath, everything was touched on and completed. When I read the last sentence of the book, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. No loose ends, no what ifs, no unanswered questions.
Do yourself a favour and read this book. Be immersed in an environment affected by the war, by love, by friends, and by those members of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

This book is incredible. The characters, developed in the form of correspondance between them, are remarkable. I knew nothing about the German occupation of the Channel Islands before starting this book and now I want to know more
