Book for October meeting
The September meeting was great. Marielle finished off the event by giving us a tour of her beautiful village. We got the best view of Pic St. Loup anywhere. Thank you, Marielle, for that and for hosting!
For October, the location is yet to be determined. We've chosen the following novel:

Description
January 1946: As London emerges from the Second World War, 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 Guernsey, the British island once occupied by the Nazis? As Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence, she is drawn into the world of this man and his friends, all members of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a book club formed to protect its members from arrest by the Germans. Through their letters, she learns about their island, their taste in books, and the powerful, transformative impact the Occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey. What she finds there will change her forever.
