DPL Book Club, Wednesday, October 21st (every third Wednesday of the month) at 2:00 p.m. This month the DPL Book Club is reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A NETFLIX FILM • A remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German Occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name. “I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers.” January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb. . . . Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises and of finding connection in the most surprising ways. The meeting is hybrid; online options are available. Please email: nlawler@clamsnet.org if you would like to participate either in person or online.
