Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Author Name: Mary Ann Schaefer and Annie Barrows

In 1946, writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from Mr. Adams on the island of Guernsey. They begin a correspondence, and she meets all the members of an unusual society called the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Through their letters, the society members tell Juliette about life on the island, their love of books, and the impact the German occupation had on their lives. Juliette is drawn into their irresistible world and sails to the island, changing her life forever.

This delightful novel was a huge success, chosen by many newspapers and magazines as one of the best books of the year. It was also recently adapted into a film, and we present it in the beautiful and faithful translation by Enas Al-Turki.
