The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

This is an okay book co-written by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. In 1946 just after the end of World War II, author Juliet Ashton receives a letter from someone on the British island of Guernsey. The island had been occupied by the Nazis who only allowed them to grow potatoes. Juliet is fascinated by their history and corresponds to several of the residents to get ideas for her next book. She is so moved by their experiences that she decides to go to the island to meet them in person.
