The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

The story is told in a series of letter and telegrams, which is always magical to me. I find it amazing that an author (or authors in this case..) can create a story that way. I love stories told in this matter. It feels as if you have come across a chest full of old letters in your granny's attic. Almost as if you are spying on someone else's life.
