THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Shaffer and Barrows

This delightful novel, written in the form of letters, tells about Juliet Ashton a writer looking for her next book subject. A letter from someone on the island of Guernsey, (in the Channel Islands, between England and France), leads to her correspondence with various residents of this isolated place and to her eventual visit there.

The story takes place in the late 1940s, and the island's residents gradually tell about their experiences when the Germans invaded the island during World War II.

This serves as the background for the story....and fleshes out the personalities of those who live on this isolated island. The ending teases the reader with its suspense.
