#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE ON NETFLIX - A remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German Occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.

"I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers." January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb...

As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society—born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island—boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.

Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society's members, learning about their island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what she finds will change her forever.

Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.

Assess Regarding Books The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Several years ago, I worked at an art gallery here in Anchorage. Though I loved the art, I wasnt much good at selling it. More often than not, I just chatted up the customers, who were from all over the world.One night, four elderly people wandered in. They told me they were from a tiny island off the coast of southern England called Guernsey. Id never heard of it, so they proudly explained it was the only part of British soil that had been occupied by the Nazis during World War II. The island

Have to admit when this book was recommended to me I was a little worried as for one I found the title strange and two I did not find the blurb very enticing. I am not going to try and sumarize the story as I feel I could not do it justice. I found this novel wounderful and I was lucky to be able to curl up on my couch while the wind and rain howled outside(end of May!!) and finish the last 150 pages of this book and enjoy it I did. The story of the occupation of Guernsey is facinating and

Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Schaffer - image from from chrestomanci.over-blog.com - Schaffer wrote most of the book, but was terminally ill so called in her niece, Barrows, to help her complete it.The GL&PPPS tells of Nazi occupation of this Channel Island during WW II. The story is told via a series of letters exchanged between residents of the island and a writer attempting to learn about their experiences. We are offered a wide range of characters, some warm and charming, some extremist



*3.5 stars* Perhaps there is some secret sort of homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers. How delightful if that were true. Believe it or notas shallow as this may soundthe stunning movie tie-in cover was the catalyst, goading me to take a hard look and commit to a book thats done little more than float along my periphery for years.What do you get when you combine a roast pig dinner, an unavoidable lie and the most unappetizing pie? A mouthful: The Guernsey Literary

How can you write a review for a book that put perpetual smile on your face for 277 pages?? Definition of supremely-enjoyable-while-reading kind of book for me: so delightful, real funny and warm. Five long years since I first put this on my tbr shelf, should have read it a lot sooner...rating: ★★★★½

Okay, this is pretty cute.For a war book, anyway.Flick through some of my other reviews for novels set during WWI and WWII and you will discover I am generally not a fan. War stories depress me. Death, destruction, slavery and treatment of prisoners ... guh. Way too dark and sad. Plus all the starvation makes me hungry. Maybe that sounds callous but my heart is just too small to fit all the sorrow I feel for the billions of people who have died because of war.So normally this is not a book I
