An Unexpected Pleasure

Every once in awhile you happen upon a book that makes you smile with pleasure at every turn of the page and keeps you wanting more. A friend of mine gave me such a book for Christmas. It is called, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a novel by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It is such a delightful read that I simply CANNOT put it down and have even found myself sneaking a few moments at work to read a few pages. One of my favorite passages:

"Have you ever noticed that when your mind is awakened and drawn to someone new, that person's name suddenly pops up everywhere you go? My friend Sophie calls it coincidence, and Mr. Simpless, my parson friend, calls it Grace. He thinks that if one cares deeply about someone or something new one throws a kind of energy out into the world, and "fruitfulness" is drawn in."

Pick up a copy and read it for yourself - you won't be sorry!
