In January of 1946 writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Juliet is intrigued by the letter and is soon corresponding with people on the island who tell her about the society and how reading helped them during the German Occupation. Before long juliet is determined to go to the Island and tell the story of what happened during the war years. The story is told in a series of letters between the people involved and introduces the reader to some fascinating albeit quirky people. The book made me smile often, laugh out loud a few times and shed tears as the story enfolded. I highly recommend it.
