Literature: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Oct 18, 2010 14:24

I finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows a couple weeks ago.

It's an interesting book that takes place post WW2, following Juliet Ashton's life for a couple of years.  In this novel, she's an author who has become very popular with her comedic articles, but years for something more serious now that the war is over.  The book is a "collection of letters" to and from her and various people who hold importance in her life during this time.

I'm usually not fond of books that are "collection of letters" but I pushed past that since the story seem nice.

Would I recommend this book to others?  Yes, if they are interested in WW2 related materials.  I found it quite interesting.  Would I call it a favorite?  No.  Would I read it again?  Likely not.  I plan to let JB read it if he wishes (maybe my older sister too) and then bring it back to the office book area.
