The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society

Annie Barrows, co-author of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," talks about how the author within the story asks three questions: why a roast pig dinner had to be kept secret, how a pig could spark the beginning of a literary society, and what exactly a potato peel pie is.  The full interview from a 2008 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.  The book was co-authored by Mary Ann Shaffer.

New #review #TheGuernseyLiteraryandPotatoPeelPieSociety (Random House Reader's Circle Deluxe Reading Group Edition): A Novel by #MaryAnnShaffer and #AnnieBarrows The Random House Reader’s Circle edition has an additional 80 pages of annotations which makes it really interesting (and has opened my eyes to some of the more hidden atrocities that took place - like all the famous/popular companies that used slave labor during WWII). There’s some very cool info from the authors at the end that provides you with a bit more insight into their own lives. It also includes book club discussion questions, which is perfect since this is the book my book club chose! The book is written in the form of letters and telegrams to and from Juliet Ashton, her publisher/friend, her best friend from school, a potential love interest, and the Guernsey islanders, as she moves away from her position as a highly popular, humorous wartime columnist to branch out into writing a more serious book on something she’s passionate about, although she’s not quite sure what that is yet. At least, not until a chance letter from Dawsey Adams sparks that passion within her and she’s drawn into Guernsey island life after the German Occupation and the events that unfolded during said Occupation between a group of friends and near-strangers who ultimately grow into the family that none of them knew they needed or wanted. I was surprised by just how different the movie was from the book, since the movie is what inspired me to pick up the book. The movie takes a lot of liberty with events in the book that really didn’t need it other than to create more cinematic drama, imo. That’s not to say that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy both of them for the lovely creations they are. . . . . . #goodreads #Amazon #bookreview #iheartbooks #readingisfundamental #kindle #book #books #readallthebooks #booklover #bookworm #bookwrym #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookslover #read #reading #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #readyourbooks #readabook #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #booksarelife https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-wvBNn0Wm/?igshid=rjjhvnwnxf1t

Os homens são mais interessantes em livros do que na vida real.

Talvez haja algum instinto secreto nos livros que os leve a seus leitores perfeitos. Se isso fosse verdade, seria encantador.

Eu juro, Sophie, acho que tem alguma coisa errada comigo. Todo homem que conheço é intolerável

Não vou fazer sinopse da história...mas obviamente vou postando minhas citações prediletas (novidade!!!😅) e através das minhas conversas/memes com o livro, talvez se inspirem a ler/degustar/sentir/se encantar o livro, como eu!❤ . . . #theguernseyliteraryandpotatopeelpiesociety #asociedadeliteráriaeatortadecascadebatata #maryannshaffer #anniebarrows #livrosqueencantam #alemanhanazista #horroresdaguerra #amorxguerra #sociedadeliterária #clubedolivro #amizadesliterarias #aliteraturasalva (em Em Casa!!!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPAwhPDLAo/?igshid=b8csd26blzkp
