The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann ShafferMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hooter: British wit captured through a series of letters and notes based correspondence post World War.
A random letter from someone who found their details from a book kicks off a series of letters that bring about the motley group of Guernsey residents part of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. How did they come up with the name? A concocted story in a whim when approached by officers for a group breaking a curfew brings the group to life filled with wit all over. You get a flavour of British way of life under occupation. Delightfully funny in a British way, the book is fun read though the format does get a bit repetitive.
I have heard the movie is a good watch, so will check it out to figure if movie adaptation has done justice to the book.
