The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Shaffer, Mary Ann author, Barrows, Annie author

Overview

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 Dawsy Adams of Guernsey - by chance he's acquired a book Juliet once owned - and they begin a correspondence. Dawsey is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society, and it's not long before the rest of the members write to Juliet: gawky Isola, who makes potions, Eben, the fisherman who loves Shakespeare, and Will Thisbee, 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 German occupation. Entranced by their stories, Juliet decides to visit the island to meet them properly - and unwittingly turns her life upside downs.
