The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

It begins with a letter, sent by a stranger, that somehow manages to find Juliet amid the ruins of post-World War II London - and introduces her to the wonderfully eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when some Guernsey natives were discovered breaking the German curfew (their island was occupied during the war), this ad-hoc book club grew to become a haven that helped the islanders survive the war, and the stories they share -- some humorous, some heart-wrenching -- entrance Juliet so much, she sets sail for the island... and finds her life changed forever.
