The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - 14th Mar 2018

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society was written by Mary Ann Shaffer. Annie Barrows did the rewrites and editing for her and so she is listed as a co-author.

If you haven't read this book yet, now is a good time to grab a copy. If you (like me) read it when it first came out about 8 years ago, now is a good time to re-read it. I can't remember much about it other than that I enjoyed it.

We are suggesting reading it because the film version of the book is about to be released. I have never heard of any of the actors or actresses in the film but that doesn't mean they're not well known (just that I'm not up with the times). The film is a British historical drama directed by Mike Newell and it stars Lily James, Michiel Huisman, Jessica Findlay, Matthew Goode and Katherine Parkinson. If you nodded through that list knowingly, lots of points to you for being more trendy than me.

Anyway, read the book before you see the film!
