The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Mary by Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, a remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German Occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.

 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. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.
