Jest rok 1946. Juliet, młoda pisarka, objeżdża zniszczoną Anglię, promując swą książkę i szukając tematu do następnej. Przypadkiem dowiaduje się o małej wyspie, na której istnieje dziwne Stowarzyszenie Miłośników Literatury i Placka z Kartoflanych Obierek. Powołali je podczas wojny rolnicy i gospodynie, by uratować kilka osób przed aresztowaniem. Ale jak się ma literatura do placka z obierek? Zaciekawiona Juliet odwiedza wyspę, co zupełnie zmienia jej życie... Napisana lekko i z humorem, niezwykła historia o ludzkich uczuciach i książkach "pomagających znieść rzeczy normalnie niemożliwe do zniesienia".

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

It's also got a delightful heroine, thoughtful friendships, a simmering romance, and is basi...

When Juliet Ashton receives a letter from Dawsey Adams on Guernsey she thinks it a friendly and welcome piece of correspondence. She writes back, unaware that doing so will spark an idea to circumvent her writer’s block, set up many new correspondences, introduce her to The Guernsey Literary and Pot...

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...
