A review by punkinmuffin
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows, Mary Ann Shaffer
4.0
What a lovely, lovely book. Great story, cleverly told, I adored all the characters and laughed and cried along with them.
My only criticism is its lack of diversity. It's a very white book. I am assuming that, like mainland Britain and France, Guernsey's population included people of colour during the Second World War. However, they are completely absent from this novel. This is not forgiveable in the twenty-first century.
