Ptaylor2	The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Oct 14 2009, 10:03 PM EDT My book club loved this one. I went to the website and got the recipe for potato peel pie. No one had the nerve to make it. (I'm not a great baker anyway, so I wasn't tempted.) I found maps showing the location of the Channel Islands, so everyone could see how much closer the islands were to France than to England. The discussion was great.

RE: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Dec 10 2009, 7:41 AM EST Wonderfully written with a deceptive lightness, this novel explores the German occupation of the island of Guernsey during WWII and the redemptive powers of literature and friendship. Highly recommended. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
mbonelli	2. RE: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Dec 15 2009, 8:21 PM EST My book club, The Wesley Chapel G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Reading In The South) just returned from Guernsey in October. We were the winners of the "Take Your Book Club to Guernsey" Contest sponsored by Random House. With over 56,000 entries, we consider ourselves very lucky! If you go to www.BookLoversStuff.com you can read all about our trip. The island was even more beautiful that we imagined it while reading the book. To walk the street where Juliet, Dawsy, Kit and the rest walked was an experience we will never forget.

Perhaps a little predictable in its ending but loved it all the same! Post reply Do you find this valuable?
