The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society

The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society by Marie Ann Shaffer

This book is not particularly famous but it is one of the best ones I've read lately and perhaps the one I've enjoyed the most of last year.

This book tells the story of Juliet Ashton, a writer who gets in contact with someone from Guernsey, telling her about a secret literary society held by the neighbours of the Island to gather together secretly at the times of Nazi invaded Guernsey.

The whole story is told by letters, there is no line in the book that does not belong to a letter and that makes the story very interesting, because you get to know people by their writing rather than the actions they do. It's just amazing to see how well the story flows during the whole book. The characters are great, I fell in love with most of them during the reading, and the story is so full of life you don't want it to end. I have never been to Guernsey, nor I will ever be, probably, but with this book you really get the feeling that you are there, you can feel it, see it even, and that's not very usual in books these days, so yes, this is an amazing book. And to those of you who love romance… well, pick this up right away, you will not be disappointed at all.

Are there any negative things about it? sure, I bet they are, but there are much more good things that, eventually, it's all that matters.
