The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I can be skeptical of books written as a series of letters, but I thoroughly enjoyed that format for this book. It allowed the character nuances to come through subtly and develop over the course of the book. The story surrounds an author who befriends the literary society on Guernsey just after World War II. Her relationships lead her to write a book about the islanders' experience during the German occupation of the island. The characters are bright and fun, yet there is a moving and serious thread throughout. I whipped through the book and wanted more.
