The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie
The story is a series of letters between Juliet and her publisher and the people on Guernsey. I liked the letter format for storytelling. The characters are revealed in layers and you can grow to like them in the same way you get to know people in real life. I liked the story and finished it rather quickly. The book was recommended highly by a reader's group in my town. When some online friends also recommended the book highly, I went ahead and picked it up. They may have over-hyped the book because I found the book a bit predictable. But doesn't that always happen when people get excited about a book? It didn't move me in the same way and certainly not in the way I expected. The book is still worth reading and I am glad to be introduced to the island of Guernsey.
Book Rating: 4 stars
