The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: A Novel by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows-Paperback
**"The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society"** by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows is a charming novel set in January 1946. The story begins with Juliet Ashton, a writer in post-war London, who receives a letter from a man named Dawsey Adams from the island of Guernsey. Dawsey has found her name in a book by Charles Lamb and is writing to her about the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, an eccentric book club formed during the German occupation of the island.
As Juliet and Dawsey exchange letters, Juliet learns about the society’s quirky members, who range from pig farmers to phrenologists, and their experiences during the war. The society was initially created as a cover story for a curfew violation, but it evolved into a beloved community. Through these letters, Juliet is drawn into their lives and the impact of the occupation on their island.
Moved by their stories, Juliet decides to visit Guernsey. Her journey and the relationships she forms there profoundly affect her, and the novel ends with a celebration of literature and unexpected human connections.
The novel is told in the form of letters, providing a warm, humorous, and poignant exploration of friendship, resilience, and the power of books.
