We decided that we needed to re-focus the bookclub a little and get back into a routine-with summer long gone and holidays tucked away for another year, we've decided to re-visit our list of reading wishes. For the month of October we've decided to stay away from the traditional 'thriller' and explore a contemporary fiction
'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society' by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Brown
Synopis: It's 1946 and author Juliet Ashton can't think what to write next. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance, he's acquired a book that once belonged to her - and, spurred on by their mutual love of reading, they begin a correspondence. When Dawsey reveals that he is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, her curiosity is piqued and it's not long before she begins to hear from other members. As 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.
