Set in 1946, a London based writer forms an unexpected bond with the
residents of Guernsey Island in the aftermath of World War II. They
write about events that occured during the German occupation of the island.
She then decides to write a book about their
experiences during the war.
This correspondence begins between Juliet Ashton and members of The Guernsey
Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, with them sharing their experiences of
Nazi Occupied Guernsey. When an idea for a book catches Juliet she goes to
visit the island, making lifelong friends and taking life changing steps
along the way.
In the book the story is told by way of letters and as the reader, you become enchanted
by the writers of them and the love Juliet comes to feel for each of the
Islanders; Dawsey, Amelia, Isola, Eben, Kit and Elizabeth. A beautiful story
of love, friendship and the sadness of friends lost.
And the unusual name? In 1941, a group of four Guernsey
residents are walking at nighttime in occupied Guernsey. They
are stopped by a German patrol for breaching curfew. When
asked for their reason, one of the women notices a book in the
pocket of one of the Germans and says that they were at a book
group. Collectively, they make up the book group's name, the
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and so mamage to
avoid arrest.
