On My Mind: The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved this book. Although the letter format frustrated me for the first few pages, before I had characters sorted out, I soon grew to love hearing the different voices and conversations through the letters.

WWII has always been of interest to me -- I read Corrie Ten Boom's "The Hiding Place" at least three times as a child; I focused on t Ie main character, and of Elizabeth McKenna, who is never there but always there. I liked Dawsey a lot, too, so the ending made me happy.

My book club doesn't discuss this for several months; hopefully I'll get Taylor to read this soon so I can talk to him about it!
