The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Anne Shaffer – Book Review

Preppers Survive Book Review 

Summary:  This is a historical fiction about the Guernsey Island during World War II. Juliet is a writer who discovers that her next article is to share with the world the remarkable story of the Guernsey citizens during the German occupation. As the mysterious story of the Guernsey citizens unfolds you get a vivid picture of what it was like to live in a time of war. I love this book but it was difficult for me to get into because the story is told through a series of letters so I checked out the audio book from the library which really helped.

Survival Theme: How to survive an invading army and the shortage of food & supplies.

Preppers Survive ideas after reading this book: The importance of a cache; stock piling soap and other hygiene products; the need for a good book collection, and the need for skills so things can be made when supplies run out.

Genres:  Historical Fiction, Award Winner, Survival Books 

Pages: 290 Audio Book Length: 8hrs 6mins

  1. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent info being shared freely out there.
