I needed that.
As much of this book is charming in a manner reminiscent of 84, Charing Cross Road, there is also the pathos of loss and deprivation, as well as forthrightly delivered accounts of the horrors of war.
It feels more real, has more depth, for not just being idyllic, even as there are sun-warmed moments of community rejoicing at war's end, and touching moments of compassionate fortitude whilst struggling through occupation. 1/?

Well they DO sound terrifying when you describe them like that! 🐔🐓😱

The word picture! 😆
Something about disheveled birds of prey, they remind me of grumpy muppets.
A winning simile.

A library find that I started last night. From paragraph 2: “Killing myself wouldn‘t be too clever, but then neither was killing Nicolette.” I am intrigued. #libraryfind #porchlife #coffeeandbooks

The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society is a highly readable book, and surprisingly moving. The wide cast of characters is charming and entertaining, and the letter format is used to great effect. Most importantly to me, the war is more than a convenient backdrop – it‘s integral to the plot and the characters.

Really enjoyed this one. It was a light and easy read in the form of letters. Juliet Ashton is an author who ends up writing a book about Guernsey during its German occupation. In the mean time, she falls in love with the island and it's inhabitants.

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.
