Historical Fiction- A delightful engagng story. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

Praise For This Book


"I can't remember the last time I discovered a novel as smart and delightful as this one, a world so vivid that I kept forgetting this was a work of fiction populated with characters so utterly wonderful that I kept forgetting they weren't my actual friends and neighbors. Treat yourself to this book please-I can't recommend it highly enough."-Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

"Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows have written a wondrous, delightful, poignant book- part Jane Austen, part history lesson. The letters in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society aren't addressed to you, but they are meant for you. It's a book everyone should read. An absolute treasure."-Sarah Addison Allen, author of Garden Spells

"A jewel...Poignant and keenly observed...A small masterpiece about love, war and the immeasurable sustenance to be found in good books and good friends."-People

"It's tempting to throw around terms like 'gem' when reading a book like this. But The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is not precious...This is a book for firesides or long train rides. It's a charming and timeless as the novels for which its characters profess their love."-San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

"A book-lover's delight, an implicit and sometimes explicit paean to all things literary."-Chicago Sun-Times

"I've never wanted to join a [book] club as desperately as I did while reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.... [The novel] is a labor of love, and it shows on almost every page."-Yvonne Zipp, Christian Science Monitor
