In January 1946, writer Juliet Ashton is looking for a subject for her next work in a London still recovering from the war. A letter from a stranger puts her in touch with the Literary Circle of Potato Peel Lovers, a book club that emerged during the German occupation of the island of Guernsey. Through letters, Juliet discovers its members, life under the occupation, and the power of books to unite a peculiar community.
Epistolary work of historical fiction set in the Channel Islands; the authors wrote it with the collaboration of Annie Barrows based on an initial project by Mary Ann Shaffer.
Recommended for readers of historical and epistolary fiction, as well as for book clubs interested in stories about books and community.
