- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. An epistolary novel about a literary society formed by a group of unlikely, eccentric characters on the island of Guernsey, and about the young female author who champions them. Set during and immediately after the WWII Nazi occupation of Guernsey, the book uses a deceptively humorous tone to depict the courage and ingenuity with which the characters face hardship, deprivation, and tragedy. The book serves as a tribute to all book groups, since the literary society enables the characters to prevail and to renew their lives (From Amazon.com Review). Presenter: Marcia Sears
