I Love Books Where the Characters Love Books A Much As I Do by Tess[PearlGirl] featuring Juicy Couture accessories
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows is nothing short from a splendid novel written in lovely poetic English. I would recommend it to anyone who loves reading, writing, history, or letters.
(*Spoiler Alert*)Here is what it is about: The book tells the story of a young writer, Juliet Ashton through many letters between her publisher, best friend, publicist, and new friends on the island of Guernsey, found in the English Channel. Juliet is looking for a new book idea at the end of World War II and receives a letter from a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. This sets of a spiral of events that leads her to the island to research what life was like them during the German Occupation.
"I'm sure many Islanders grew to be friends with some of the soldiers. But sometimes I think of Charles Lamb and marvel that a man born in 1775 enabled me to make two such friends as you and Christian." (97)
I love that quote. It mixes how a Nazi solider could ever become friends with a Literary Society member from the British ruled island of Guernsey.
