The book is an Epistolary Novel - Written as a series of letters from the novel's protagonist Juliet Ashton. How the book affected my life.
Several years ago through Audible.com we downloaded this book and after about thirty minutes of listening I turned the book off and moved on. First time I had listened or read a book written in this style and I did not care for it. Luckily, our daughter Brandy asked if I had finished the book and I told her I had quit listening. She told me to go back and listen and was she right, when I listened with an open mind in a very short period of time I was hooked.
The story takes place in 1946 as World War 2 ends and people begin to rebuild their lives. Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands that was occupied during World War 2 and I admit I really did not fully understand what that meant. Through letters back and forth from the islands inhabitants to Juliet the story unfolds of why The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society was formed and how the society was the network that was how they survived the occupation.
