Book Review: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

This book was very enjoyable to read. It is an interestingly written story about a writer from London who gets connected to the people of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society from the channel island of Guernsey. I never really even realized that the channel islands between England and France existed, but after reading this book they sound beautiful and maybe I will get a chance to visit there someday. The characters both in London and in Guernsey are so lovable and quirky. Their literary society (and it's strange name) came about during the German occupation during World War II. The story is actually a series of fictional letters written to and from the characters in the book and it's fun to get to know them each through their own eyes, and through the observations of others'. I love writing and receiving letters, and that's actually how I got to know and fall in love with my husband. Each page turned in this book was like receiving a letter from a friend in the mail. It's a quick read and the story made me smile and warmed my heart.
