#1 New York Times Best Seller - AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX AS A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - An amazing story of a society as unique as its name, set against the backdrop of the German occupation of the island of Guernsey.
"How did the book make its way to Guernsey?" Maybe books have a hidden homing sense of their own that helps them find the ideal readers." January 1946: As London begins to emerge from the Second World War's shadow, author Juliet Ashton is searching for the topic of her next book. Who would have thought that she would discover it in a letter from a guy she has never met, a Guernsey resident, who has discovered her name scribbled inside a Charles Lamb book?
Juliet is dragged into the world of this guy and his pals via their correspondence, and what a fantastically bizarre world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society has a delightful, humorous, and very human cast of characters, including phrenologists, pig farmers, and literary lovers all. The society was founded as an impromptu alibi after its members were caught violating curfew by the Germans occupying their island.
Juliet strikes up an extraordinary correspondence with the members of the society, discovering details about their island, their reading preferences, and the effects of the previous German occupation on their way of life. She sails off for Guernsey, drawn in by their tales, and what she discovers there will alter her lifelong.
This book, which is written as a sequence of letters and is filled with warmth and humour, is a celebration of the written word in all its forms and of connecting with people in unexpected ways.
