My book club loved this one. I went to the website and got the recipe for potato peel pie. No one had the nerve to make it. (I'm not a great baker anyway, so I wasn't tempted.) I found maps showing the location of the Channel Islands, so everyone could see how much closer the islands were to France than to England. The discussion was great.
