The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is wonderful! It's dramatic and sad and funny and wry. Everything a book should be. It made me want to go to Guernsey and meet these people. They became that real to me. The entire book is told through letters and telegrams, so it is very easy to read since there are no long chapters and the dialogue is conversational. The characters are vividly portrayed and by the end of the novel they seem as familiar as friends.
