The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society written by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows is a historical type novel that I enjoyed very much, especially after reading the depressing Outcast.
It is a book filled with letters written by many characters to Juliet Ashton. Juliet is a writer from England that receives a letter from a stranger from Guernsey, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.  Guernsey is a small island in the English Channel.
Here is one of my favourite quotes from the book, this is Juliet writing a letter to Dawsey about a book called Selected Essays of Elia:
"I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some secret sort of homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers. How delightful if that were true."
