A Sunny Read for a Rainy Day

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows was great fun to read. Written in the form of letters, it's packed with interesting characters who are surprisingly easy to keep track of (considering how many there are).

Set immediately after World War II, the plot revolves around the German occupation of the British Channel Islands, a historical event that I wasn't aware of before. I liked the characters a lot and found myself thinking about them and their stories off and on during the days that I read this fast moving book.
