I have to share the book I selected for my "Birthday Book Club" meeting this month. I chose The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

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.
Here are some notable quotes from this book that I loved:

Best,
I'm actually reading this book right now :) I'm so glad you think it is so good! There is a snowstorm coming through DC this weekend so it will be the perfect time to curl up with the book!
ReplyDeleteI read this book several years ago & it still sticks with me as a favorite! I loved the characters, their story and the style of writing!
