Kurzbeschreibung zu "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society"
It's 1946. Juliet Ashton, a 32-year-old writer, has found recognition through her light-hearted column in a national newspaper which lifted the spirits of her readers during WW2. But then Dawsey Adams writes to her from Guernsey and, emboldened by their mutual love of books, they begin a correspondence. Dawsey belongs to the "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society", and as Juliet learns more about their reading group, soon she stumbles upon a whole number of islanders eager to write and tell her of their experiences of the German occupation of Guernsey. Entranced by her new friends, Juliet decides to visit the island to meet them properly.

 «The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society»
von einer Kundin oder einem Kunden
( 06.01.2010):
Man muss dieses Buch schon wegen seines Titels lieben. Nicht nur Fans von Helene Hanffs "84, Charing Cross Road" werden an diesem sehr schönen Briefroman rund um die Themen Literatur, Liebe und Freundschaft ihre Freude haben. Man kann mal lachen, man kann auch mal schluchzen und lesen sollte (dieses Buch) sowieso jeder, denn, wie Juliet Ashton schreibt, "Reading keeps you from going gaga".
Der deutsche Titel des Romans lautet "Deine Juliet".
 «A charming book about wartime survival and friendship»
von einer Kundin oder einem Kunden
( 01.10.2009):
Juliet Ashton is a successful columnist and author who has no big idea for her next book. When a letter from Guernsey arrives, Juliet becomes involved in the trials of a book club, created as a way of getting through the years of German occupation.
She realises that the subject of her next book is right in front of her: the extraordinarily-named Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. More specifically, the lives and loves of its members. Soon she's off to Guernsey to meet her penpals, but it's a trip that will change all their lives forever.
This sweet book is told through a series of letters written during 1946. Its charm lies in seeing the story from so many different viewpoints, and its detailed retelling of occupation life in Guernsey. It's a bit schmaltzy in places, especially at the end, but will leave you smiling.
