Hi! Today I added a list to my blog: books I have read. I love to read, mostly US or European history, science, historical fiction. So let's get started with my first finished book of 2010...
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society combines a rollicking story set in the post-World War II timeframe, a touching (if not misdirected) romance, and a slice of little-known history into one volume. The writing style uses a flow of letters back and forth among the characters. It's hard to follow at first, until you become comfortable with the characters and their interrelationships. But once you catch the drift, the story unfolds easily, with a few great turnarounds along the way. Touching, funny, surprising, sad, all in one. Even the acknowledgments and afterword in the back of the book touched my heart. Thanks, Michele, for recommending this one!
