Publisher's Summary:

It's 1946 and author Juliet Ashton can't think of what to write next. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance, he's acquired a book that once belonged to her - and, spurred on by their mutual love of reading, they begin a correspondence.

When Dawsey reveals that he is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Juliet's curiousity is piqued, and it's not long before she begins to hear from other members.

As letters fly back and forth with stories of life in Geurnsey under the German Occupation, Juliet soon realises that the society is every bit as extraordinary as its name.

Members Reviews:

everybody is so good

even among awfull nazis, there is one who is such a good man. No passion, no problems, it's love an glory, a soap for... who?

A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

This works really well as an audiobook. I had already listened to, and enjoyed, the radio 4 book of the week version, but this unabridged version is better. Using different voices to read each letter means that you never get confused over who wrote each one.

Very enjoyable and compelling novel

A very good novel and totally unexpected in its charm and beautiful flowing storyline. The whole book is based around numerous short letters between Juliet Ashton, an established author, and various people; mainly those living in the post World War 2 island of Guernsey.

The mysterious book title 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' is quickly explained when various members of the society start their correspondence with Juliet. From there Juliet decides to visit the island and ends up falling in love with the island and its occupants. Juliet is also torn between the affections of 2 men, but which one will it be?

All in all a very enjoyable read and can thoroughly recommend this

An unexpected joy

A wonderful book. The book starts as a light and pleasant read but as it progresses I found myself drawn in by the utterly compelling human story unfolding. The book manages to present the picture of the Nazi occupation of Guernsey in a fresh and touching way and yet still manages to have moments of wit. I laughed and cried as I read it. A quirky and quite original story that is about love and support between friends and neighbours that both entertains and informs. Both well written and well read. Highly recommended.

Sweet book - piqued my interest in Guensey

Would you listen to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society again? Why?

I found it a little hard going at 1st, a bit jolly hockey sticks mixed with Mills & Boon but then you just get wrapped in a lovely warm security blanket of lovely people living in an bucolic community and you think everything is all going to turn out fine, but it doesn't and thats wakes you up again and the story becomes more poignant/gripping. I have started reading Ebenezer Le Page after reading this book as it piqued my interested in what really happened/what life was really like for a Guensey man/women..
