The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Book Review)

from Reel Readers Society · host Reel Readers Society

We've watched the movie (2018) and now its time to read where it all started. Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows takes us on a correspondance adventure through the eyes of Juliet Ashton and a community of Islanders bonded together by unlikely friendship. At the heart of the novel is Elizabeth Mckenna -- without her, there is no literary society. And without Juliet Ashton, there is no book revealing the details of the harrowing five years spent trapped on the island of Guernsey. Come with us as we compare and contrast the book and movie and talk about the moral dilemma that can only be heightened by the strain of war. Happy Listening,K&K
