The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows





This month we enjoyed a wonderful historical fiction novel set during World War II on the island of Guernsey. The German occupation of the island during the war plays a significant part in the story but with unexpected twists helping you to realize that even German soldiers were human too. The format of the book is simply a series of letters written to and from the characters in the book, a unique and clever way to show the perspective of each character. We all loved this book and found that we could not put it down.

Our restaurant this month was Macaroni Grill in Salt Lake City. Tasty but not amazing, we enjoyed some good Italian food.
