It's a wonderful read. I hope you enjoyed it. I did like the Guernesey book but I tried to have low expectations as it was "the book" to read when it came out and I didn't want to be thoroughly disappointed. By the way, thank you for mentioning Peirene Press. I've been looking through their web site and of course have already added lots to my wishlist. Oh I see the Makioka Sisters on your stack.
