Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing  instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers.\" \u003c\/i\u003eJanuary 1946: London  is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is  looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a  letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come  across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As Juliet and her new correspondent  exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends-and  what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie  Society-born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking  curfew by the Germans occupying their island-boasts a charming, funny, deeply human  cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Juliet  begins a remarkable correspondence with the society's members, learning about their  island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had  on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what  she finds will change her forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written with warmth and humor as a series of  letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises, and of  finding connection in the most surprising ways. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRead by Paul Boehmer, Susan Duerden, Rosalyn Landor, John Lee, and Juliet Mills\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Compact Disc edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104304414960,"sku":"2940169118384","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169118384_p0.jpg?v=1763761328","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169118384","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
