“I can’t remember the last time I discovered a novel as smart and delightful as this one. Treat yourself to this book please—I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

“Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows have written a wondrous, delightful, poignant book— part Jane Austen, part history lesson. The letters in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society aren’t addressed to you, but they are meant for you. It’s a book everyone should read. An absolute treasure.”

Sarah Addison Allen, author of Garden Spells

“Here’s who will love this book: anyone who nods in profound agreement with the statement, ‘Reading keeps you from going gaga.’ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a delight. Tart, insightful and fun.”—Mary Doria Russell, author of A Thread of Grace and Dreamers of the Day

“Charming…. [Heroine] Juliet finds in the letters not just inspiration for her next work, but also for her life—as readers will.”

Publishers Weekly

“A sure winner…. Elizabeth and Juliet are appealingly reminiscent of game but gutsy ’40s movie heroines.”
