WWII Inspired Readings


On the advice of Lois Plowright I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society. I didn't really expect to like the book despite the raving review, but it was wonderful. Flowing and the amount of detail given will forever change my internal images of WWII.

On the advice of an ad in the Toronto Star I read The Postmistress. Nothing new here. The writing was not particularly catching,  and there was little 'not done before'.  My advice, go with the former.

I also had Lois recommend that book to me, and it did sound interesting. Glad to hear it's worth the read... :)
