Welcome to Season #4 Episode #6 of That Pretentious Book Club!
In this episode, the club covers listener recommendation The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. This epistolary novel reads like the wind, full to the brim of sparkling wit, vivid characters, and themes of recovery and growth following extreme adversity - in this case, World War II. Set in England following the war, this book offers a beautifully aesthetic-yet-realistic view of post-war London and the channel islands, offering insight into the German occupation the way it affected real, everyday people, all while revealing the power of reading to bring people out of darkness. Join the hosts as they dive into this impeccably written novel, finding plenty to laugh about and even more to be moved by in this book that everyone should read at least once.
