The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society - [20 Nov 2009]
Very interesting and well written. It is written as letters back and forth wherein the story evolves about how one tiny town experienced the German invasion and the Holocaust. If you like that subject, you will like this book. I enjoyed it and would recommend...

This is one of the best novels I have read in years. Using the device of a letter exchange between all the characters was brilliant. By doing so, the author let the reader become intimately familiar with every character. The story, based loosely on the...

Buy this book, it is the author's life work and it shows - [17 Nov 2009]
There are so many reasons to buy this book, I think I have bought five. For my sister in the UK for friends near and far and my own copy which I had to re-read. I could not bear the people I love most, not to own it. The Channel Islands, my beloved second...

Surprising! - [16 Nov 2009]
I found I enjoyed this little book more than I thought I might. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get into the format of "letters." But before long, I was there, after WWII in GB and Guernsey! I'd love to be able to travel to Guernsey even now and see the ...

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - [16 Nov 2009]
Charming, disarming and wonderful insight into a group of resilient island residents in World War II. But that is just the background. The story is about Elizabeth whom you meet only indirectly through an exchange of letters. The whole book is an exchange...
