The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.
Quotes I love and deeply relate:
"Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad books."
From Isola Pribby to Juliet, 19th February, 1946.

"As Seneca says, "Light griefs are loquacious, but the great are dumb."
From John Booker to Juliet, 16th May, 1946

"She writes about how difficult it is for you to get on with your life as a camp survivor...not friends, not family - wants to know anything about your life in the camps, and they think that the sooner you put it out of your mind -- and out of their hearing-- the happier you'll be.
...it is not that you want to belabor anyone with the details, but it did happen to you and you cannot pretend it didn't..."
From Juliet to Sophie, 29th August, 1946
