Description
Gloriously honest, enchanting and funny, this is a moving tale of post-war
friendship, love and books - a captivating and completely irresistible
novel of enormous depth and heart. A moving tale of post-war friendship,
love and books, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society is a
captivating and completely irresistible novel of enormous depth and heart.
It's 1946, and as Juliet Ashton sits at her desk in her Chelsea flat, she
is stumped. A writer of witty newspaper columns during the war, she can't
think of what to write next. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from
one Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance he's acquired a book Juliet once
owned - and, emboldened by their mutual love of books, they begin a
correspondence. Dawsey is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel
Pie Society, and it's not long before the rest of the members write to
Juliet - including the gawky Isola, who makes home-made potions, Eben, the
fisherman who loves Shakespeare, and Will Thisbee, rag-and-bone man and
chef of the famous potato peel pie. As letters fly back and forth, Juliet
comes to know the extraordinary personalities of the Society and their
lives under the German occupation of the island. Entranced by their
stories, Juliet decides to visit the island to meet them properly - and
unwittingly turns her life upside down. Gloriously honest, enchanting and
funny, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society is sure to win your
heart.
