I put it down to read the book club choice "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows.
This is a re-read but it is such a good book I don't mind reading it again.
My youngest sister (not a reader like our other sister and me) shocked the two of us when she said she could not put it down. We were on a video call and we both said "You read a book?". It is definitely a keeper.
“I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers.” January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb. . . .
As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society—born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island—boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.
When I finish it I will go back to the Silva book.
