- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you enjoyed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, you will enjoy this selection and vice versa. It is written in the style of letter exchange and though a short story, I was attached to the two main characters by the end. This is a true story as I understand it and it was delightful.
