During World War II, the Germans occupied Guernsey in the Channel Islands, so close to France that, apparently, you could see cars on the highway on a clear day. Right before the Germans came Guernsey's children were evacuated to England. The Germans built fortifications against the islanders and built a concentration camp on Guernsey.

Juliet Ashton is an author looking for her next great idea, when she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams, who lives on Guernsey, about Charles Lamb, to whose works we was introduced through the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. The Society came to be in an unusual fashion: one evening after curfew, on their way home, some of its members were stopped by German soldiers, and Elizabeth McKenna had to make something up on the spot. Over time, the members got together whenever they could to talk about what they'd read. That's how Isola, for example, became addicted to Wuthering Heights.

Juliet lives in a London; her apartment by the Thames has been lost, as well as all of her books (as you can imagine, horrifying). But her career as a writer is going well, and she has a potential love interest in the handsome and rich Mark. But Juliet's life changes as she receives more and more letters from the Guernsey Islanders, and she decides that she just might have to pay them a visit

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a charming novel, written in the form of letters and telegrams between all the characters. The characters are all wonderful--you can't help but wishing you'd known them yourself. Each character of this book has his or her own unique voice. Some of the stories told in this book are tragic; some are funny; but touching.

It bothered me that the authors choose to make the negative character of Adelaide Addison a Christian. It appears to be the trend in literature that the Christians are made to be the negative characters.

Enjoy! off to Esme-Weatherwax as a RABCK and for The "THE" release challenge 2012.
