The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society

I very much enjoyed The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer. This cleverly written book is set in Guernsey shortly after World War II. Guernsey was occupied by the Germans during the war and the islanders suffered as a consequence. After the War, writer Juliet Ashton in London receives a letter from Dawsey Adams from Guernsey and so a correspondence begins. The story is told through letters, a literary device that works brilliantly in this book. This is a literary masterpiece, but sadly we shall read no more from this first-time author as she died prior to publication. Highly recommended. 5/5
