The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I loved it. I read it on vacation and it reminded me of why I love to read. The time on the airplane flew by (no pun intended!)

The book was beautifully written. The characters developed as they were introduced through letters. Some of the story was heartbreaking--the telling of the occupation of the Channel Islands (in the English Channel) by the Germans during WWII. Some of the story was warm and funny and romantic.

Since I don't have to finish a book to write about it, the book I am reading now is Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah. I've just started it but I am intrigued by the fairy tale at the center of the story. It was the first Kristen Hannah book Grama/Mom read (I think) and it caused an avalanche of Kristen Hannah books to be consumed. Which ones has everyone read?
