Book Description: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom, 2008. Book Condition: as new. map (illustrator). It's January, 1946, and writer Juliet Ashton sits at her desk, vainly seeking a subject for her next book. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from one Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance, he's acquired a secondhand book that once belonged to Juliet - and, spurred on by their mutual love of Charles Lamb, they begin a correspondence. When Dawsey reveals that he is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Juliet's curiosity is piqued, and it's not long before she begins to hear from the other members. As the letters fly back and forth with stories of life in Guernsey under the German Occupation, Juliet soon realizes that the society is every bit as extraordinary as its name. There's gawky Isola, who makes love potions to sell along with her vegetables; Eben, a fisherman with a passion for Shakespeare; Will, erstwhile ironmonger and the creator of the famous potato peel pie; and Dawsey himself, a farmer with a shy manner and a tender heart. Most poignant of all are the memories of Elizabeth, the founding member of the society, who fell in love with a German officer, saved a starving prisoner, and was sent away to a concentration camp, leaving her child behind. Sustained by books and one another, the islanders have battled the bitter hardships of World War II. Juliet, entranced by their stories and their spirit, decides to visit Guernsey to meet her new friends properly. A moving tale of the power of friendship, books, and love, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society will beguile the heart and mind. Retail Price £12.99, you save 34%.

Book Description: Dial. 1 Cloth(s), 2008. Book Condition: New. We at Daedalus love this funny, heartbreaking, delightful epistolary novel about the power of books. In letters from an English Channel island that was occupied by the Germans in World War II, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society tells the stories of the society itself—invented on the spot by a quick-thinking Guernsey woman to explain to a German guard why she and her friends were breaking curfew—and the writer who comes to know its members after the war. Searching in vain for a new book project in 1946 London, Juliet Ashton receives a letter from Dawsey Adams of Guernsey, who has acquired a book of hers. Their correspondence is joined by other members of the literary society, asking about authors and relating hardships they experienced during the war, and Ashton is enchanted—particularly by the tale of the adroit woman who dreamed up the society, and went so far as to invite the guard who stopped their group to participate. Simply keeping up the charade at first, the Guernseyites have continued to meet regularly to discuss the books they're reading (for many the same one over and over), finding comfort both in their favorite authors and in one another as well."I can't remember the last time I discovered a novel as smart and delightful as this one, a world so vivid that I kept forgetting this was a work of fiction populated with characters so utterly wonderful that I kept forgetting they weren't my actual friends and neighbors. Treat yourself to this book please."—Elizabeth Gilbert"A sweet, sentimental paean to books and those who love them. It affirms the power of books to nourish people enduring hard times."—Washington Post Book World 278 pgs. Bookseller Inventory # 99005
