By Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

January 1946. London is coming out of the war, and the writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next subject when a letter arrives from a stranger on Guernsey who has bought a second-hand book with her name written inside it.

He belongs to the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a book club invented on the spot as an excuse to a German patrol and kept going for the rest of the occupation. Told entirely in letters, and mostly funny until it is not.
