The Geurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Questions

Hello,

Here are some questions and also a really interesting website about this months book.

- What was it like to read a book entirely made of letters? What do letters offer that no other form of writing can?
- Discuss the poets, novelists, biographers, and other writers who capture the hearts of the members of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. What does a reader’s taste in books say about his or her personality? Whose lives were changed the most by membership in the society?
- Numerous Guernsey residents give Juliet access to their private memories of the occupation. Which voices were most memorable for you? What was the effect of reading a variety of responses to a shared tragedy?
- Juliet rejects marriage proposals from a man who is a stereotypical “great catch.” How would you have handled Juliet’s romantic entanglement? What truly makes someone a “great catch”?
- Do you agree with Isola that “reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones”?
