The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Set in 1946, the novel follows Juliet Ashton, a British writer and former war journalist, as she discovers the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society through a letter from Dawsey Adams.

The society was formed as an alibi to avoid German occupation authorities and evolved into a source of hope and community for the islanders.

Through her correspondence with the society's members, Juliet learns about their lives, their island, and the impact of the German occupation.

The book is a celebration of the written word, human resilience, and the power of community and literature to overcome adversity.
