Potato Peel Pie

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society- Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
Book Recommendation

January 1946: writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. And so begins a remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.

I loved this heartwarming book enough to add it to my extremely choosy book list. I enjoy lots of books but only list the ones that really stay with me. I'm always on the lookout for a recommendation so if you've read something that just has to be read let me know!
