Enero de 1946: Londres emerge de las sombras de la segunda guerra mundial. La escritora Juliet Ashton esta buscando el argumento para su proximo libro. Quien podria imaginarse que lo encontraria en la carta de un desconocido un nativo de la isla de Guernsey a cuyas manos ha llegado un libro de Charles Lamb que pertenecio a Juliet? A medida que Juliet y el desconocido intercambian cartas ella se queda atrapada en un mundo maravillosamente excentrico. La sociedad literaria del pastel de piel de patata de Guernsey nacida como una coartada espontanea cuando sus miembros fueron descubiertos rompiendo el toque de queda de los alemanes contiene una galeria de personajes profundamente humanos divertidos encantadores desde granjeros a frenologos todos amantes de la literatura que sobrellevaron la ocupacion nazi organizando reuniones de lectura sobre novelas clasicas siempre alrededor de un pastel de patata. Juliet empieza una importante correspondencia con los miembros de la sociedad pequenas joyas que hablan de libros y del placer de la lectura de la amistad de la vida cotidiana y del impacto reciente que la ocupacion alemana ha tenido en sus vidas. Cautivada por sus historias decide visitarles y lo que encuentra le cambiara para siempre.

Through bombings, gun enforced curfews, children sent away ...

3.0 The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
I don't really remember liking this book when I first read it (I didn't dislike it either though). I do remember distinctly thinking Dawsey was a 70-year-old man. Spoilers (but not really), he's not and this time around I caught all the references to how he's not 70 years old. But his character real...
