Do you pick up a book by the title? Cover photo? Someone's recommendation?
These are the reasons I am now on page 42 in this book...
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a novel by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
The title alone screams, "Read me" don't you think?!
It is a novel written completely in letters from the year 1946.
I am getting to know some of the characters...Sidney and Juliet, Sophie, Mr Adams, Markham. Markham is asking Juliet out on a date after sending her bouquets of flowers...anonymously. Juliet writes..."I'm getting a nervous twitch, waiting for him to come out of hiding and make himself known..."
I can't wait to get to the part where Juliet sails to Guernsey, a British island, to meet the society.
Have you read this book? Did you like it?
What do you think of a novel written in letters?
I love to write letters, so it hooked me right away.
