#1 "NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER
""I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is 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 man she's never met, a native of the island of
Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by
Charles Lamb....
As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is
drawn into the world of this man and his friends--and 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 discovered 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 remarkable correspondence with the society's
members, learning about 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 all its guises, and of
finding connection in the most surprising ways.
