The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

by Mary Ann Shaffer

Set in the aftermath of World War II, 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' unfolds through a series of charming letters exchanged between London author Juliet Ashton and the eccentric inhabitants of Guernsey island. The novel introduces a heartwarming community formed during the German occupation – their literary society a front for curfew evasion. Juliet, searching for her next book's inspiration, becomes enthralled by their tales of resilience, camaraderie over literature, and shared meals of potato peel pies. As the correspondence leads to friendship, Juliet's journey to Guernsey reveals the profound impact of the occupation on the islanders' lives, and in turn, alters her own path forever. This epistolary tale is a tribute to the solace found in books and the strength of human connections formed in the most unexpected circumstances.
