It’s 1946 and 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 German Occupation, Juliet soon realizes that the society is every bit as extraordinary as its name.

Summary
Overall I wasn't sure when I started this epistolary novelbut it turned out to be my favorite book ever! I have read it six times and haven't gotten tired of it yet! I
like when a book teaches me something along with entertaining me. It brought to my attention a setting of WW2 that I wasn't familiar with. The vulnerability of the English Channel Islands and the Nazi invasion. The characters are all people you would love to have as neighborseven the irritating ones. Juliet the main character is a writer and after the war ends up on Guernsey Island. She soon is inspired with an idea for a book and while researching uncovers sad details about the Island and its
people. Their stories during the war are heartbreaking. It's filled with laughter love, courage, honor everything that you want in a book. There is a movie being made
based on the book and i can't wait to see it.
Violence overs historical violence of the Nazi's during WW2
Language very minor. uses damn and once shit.
Sexual
Drug & Alcohol social drinks very minor
