While I was on vacation I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. What a wonderful book! It is a series of letters written after World War II. Through the experiences that are shared in the letters lives unfold and the experiences of the people of Guernsey during the German occupation are shared. This is a real feel good book without being sickly sweet. I would recommend it to anyone. I've added it to my list of books read this year here.
