Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers.” January 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….

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.

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.

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.]]> 1194527 4.17 30087 11387 63116 4.16 30524 11349 2007 108980 0811849090 9780811849098 91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171595804m/108980.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171595804s/108980.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108980.Ivy_and_Bean 3.92 344 63116 4.16 30524 11349 63115 3.87 691 211 2006 108979 0811849112 9780811849111 30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255634005m/108979.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255634005s/108979.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108979.Ivy_and_Bean_and_the_Ghost_That_Had_to_Go 3.99 175 63116 4.16 30524 11349 2007 1851166 1599901323 9781599901329 65 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1189193908m/1851166.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1189193908s/1851166.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1851166.The_Magic_Half 3.68 161 63116 4.16 30524 11349 2007 108981 0811856836 9780811856836 9 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171595804m/108981.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171595804s/108981.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108981.Ivy_and_Bean_Break_the_Fossil_Record 3.98 125 63116 4.16 30524 11349 2007 108982 0811856852 9780811856850 6 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108982.Ivy_and_Bean_Take_Care_of_the_Babysitter 4.13 76 Ivy and Bean Take Care of the Babysitter, the two girls hatch a plan to prove that Bean's big sister is the world's worst babysitter.
