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

5.0

I recently found and LOVED the Netflix film adaptation and thought that I really should go in search of this book.... Flash forward to today. I just finished binge-listening to the audiobook of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer, and it was such a good book. I loved it so much! This is a treasure of a five star read and a must read if you liked the movie even slightly (because the book is better), or if you enjoy historical fiction. I loved the weaving of the unique characters and retelling of heartbreaking events that occurred during World War II as told through letters between many individuals in the story. It was a unique way to tell a story and somehow endeared me to the characters even more. By the end of the story I was in love with the characters and Guernsey and so happy with the excellent ending.
