Editorial Review:

Product Description:
“ 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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exactly what you need on a cold and rainy winter night
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society was an absolute joy. Wonderful story. Hate to be cliche but made me laugh and cry. Smiling at the end. Sometimes thats all you need.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Appreciating Literature Through Letters
This book is composed entirely of letters. It follows the protagonist, Juliet, who's a struggling author. She is trying to find an idea to write a new book. An opportunity comes up when she receives a letter from a man called Dawsey from The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which is basically just a literary appreciation society.

As they exchange letters, Juliet becomes more and more intrigued with their society. She is eventually led to the town of Guernsey where she ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delightful narrative voice makes for easy reading of emotional tale
I heard an interview with one of the authors on NPR, which made the book sound so interesting that I bought it at my next opportunity. The book lived up to all my expectations. Told through the use of correspondence between characters, the story is fast-paced and gripping. The heroine comes to feel like a good friend.

Set in time shortly after World War II, the book offers a view of post-War London that feels so real that I can almost smell the smoke. Buildings are still in rubble, and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - jane austen would love this book
Absolutely my favorite book of the year hands down! I suggested this book so many times at the bookstore during Christmas! Can't rave about it enough. Oh how Jane Austen would love this book! Books and stories like this don't come around often these days so I'm grateful this one got written, was accepted and bought and read with such enthusiasm. Only sad thing is that we won't be getting another book from this incredibly gifted author. I hope she's writing in heaven and having a literary ball!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent and Touching Book
I enjoyed this book immensely and I will be giving it to people I love. It is a history of the German occupation of one of the Channel Islands during World War II (Guernsey) and how the people survived without much food and with horrible things happening. And yet how they were able to make it through and maintain their sense of humor, deepen their relationships with others, and sometimes, the best of them, lost their lives. It is the story of heroic people who care more about others than themselves. ... Read More
