The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society


Our September Book

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society

By Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

This, personally, was a favorite of mine! This book is written through letters and notes and newspaper clippings to tell the story of Juliet, a writer who befriends a man in Guernsey after WWII. They write letters back and forth as two book lovers until Juliet goes to visit Guernsey and finds herself more than just in love with books. I don't think everyone was entirely smitten with this book as I was but we did have some good discussions about Markum Reynolds and Elizabeth.

Can you believe we didn't take a picture this time!?!?! I'm saddened by this. Sorry.
