Set in 1946 around post war friendships through letters and transmissions in which Juliet learns about the people that form the society, what and who does she find when she visits the island of Guernsey?
Enjoyed this one and getting to know the society through their witty and honest letters.

I found this book interesting in many ways. The writing style was unique. It was composed entirely of letters or telegrams written between the characters. The story was based on a subject I hadn‘t read about or even heard of before,- the German occupation of the Channel Islands during WW2. This book was many stories within a story. I enjoyed reading it.

If you liked The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, then this article is for you! I‘ve read three of the books on the list and can recommend them, too - Dear Mrs Bird, The Storied Life of AJ Fickry, and Major Pettigrew‘s Last Stand.

Happy Reading!
