“I wonder the way the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there may be 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 guy she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, that has run into her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb….
As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn in to the world of this man and his friends—and just 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 found out 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 amazing correspondence with the society’s members, studying 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 every its guises, and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.
