I’m so glad that your letter found me, and that my book found you. I knew, as soon as I got to this passage, that this novel was going to become a favorite: One morning, sitting in a coffee shop, desperate to distract myself from my inability to make it through 1984 (sorry, George it was me, not you), I fished out the only other book in my purse: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Looking back, it must have been the buzz surrounding the film adaptation, also released in 2018, what sparked my interest.Įither way, this novel found me during a fairly bad reading slump. It’s not like it was a hidden gem: the book became a New York Timesbestseller in 2009. How I managed to miss its existence before then, I have no idea.
I’ve been on a quest to find books like The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society since I first read it in 2018, a full decade after its publication.
