Book Review of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

Synopsis: A writer in London begins a correspondence with a Book Group on Guernsey Island. We learn how these people suffered during World War II, and how a book club can help them rise above a tragedy. Impressions: I especially liked that the book was written in the form of letters which made it easier to follow. I learned a lot about the war's effect on this area. Again, I was made aware of the power of reading to overcome life's suffering.
