The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer

She learns that the club brings together a wide variety of islanders who found peace in literature during the horrific German occupation. Through her ongoing correspondences with the islanders over several months, Juliet is drawn into the world of the eclectic members of the literary society. Kit was then raised for the first four years of her life by Dawsey and other Guernsey islanders. Before her deportation, she had fallen in love with Christian, a German soldier, and given birth to their daughter, Kit. During the German occupation of Guernsey, Elizabeth had been deported to a concentration camp, where she was later shot. The most central character that the islanders speak of is Elizabeth McKenna, a young woman who has already died by the time that Juliet begins corresponding with the people of Guernsey. The plot of the novel unfolds through the letters of several other islanders who correspond with Juliet. He writes to her because books are so rare on Guernsey, and he would like to gain more - particularly for the island's book club, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Dawsey is a native who has come across her name inside a book by Charles Lamb. Guernsey, a farming community, is located on one of the islands located in the English Channel between France and Britain. Unexpectedly, Juliet receives a letter from a man named Dawsey Adams on the island of Guernsey. The novel unfolds through a series of correspondences. As the novel opens, Juliet is searching for a more serious topic that she can write about under her own name. After the war's conclusion, her publisher and close friend, Sidney Stark, published the columns - known for being quite humorous - in a book called Izzy Bickerstaff Goes to War. During the war, Juliet wrote a column under the pseudonym Izzy Bickerstaff. The novel's protagonist, Juliet Ashton, is a moderately well-known writer who has lost her home and thirsts for new adventure.
