Wars Tales
Guernsey And The Second World War
Every now and then a book is published that is totally absorbing, difficult to put down and when finished, leaves the reader begging for more. One such book is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, written by Mary Anne Shaffer and Annie Barrows, a book set within and after World War Two.
Shaffer visited Guernsey in 1976 and was fascinated by the wartime occupation. During her research, she learnt tales of terrible cruelty and great courage.
A best selling book, it has sold millions of copies worldwide and has also been translated into many languages.
During The Second World War, the Germans occupied Guernsey - the jewel of the Channel Islands. The Germans built fortifications, a concentration camp. Many of Guernsey's children were evacuated to England in order to keep them harmed by the Germans.
Set in an imaginary post occupation Guernsey and London, the story follows Juliet Ashton, a promising writer, who lives in London and writes columns for The Spectator. Through chance and a mutual love of literature Juliet starts communicating with some local Guernsey people who, in order to cope with the harsh realities of the war, set up a book club. It soon becomes obvious to Juliet that the book club is every bit as strange as its name would suggest.
The book is what is known as an epistolary which means that it written in the form of letters and first person narrative. In the story, Juliet learns all about occupied Guernsey, its dispossession and the relentless courage of the Guernsey residents. Juliet becomes intrigued by the many tales of difficult times, rationing and separation from loved ones. Finally, Juliet relocates to Guernsey and finds herself immersed in the island's culture, hospitality and charm.
The authors received worldwide acclaim and gained commentary from the world's most well known media, and some excellent reviews, posted on Amazon.
Comments included some where the reviewer wanted to move to Guernsey as a result of reading the book and other comments include that it was a book the reviewer simply could not put down.
The Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, despite its unusual title, has charm and lightness, however it also carries significant substance. It is humerous, moving and a page-turner from beginning to end.
This is a book that allows readers from around the world to find out just what Guernsey was like during the occupation - through letters, love and courage. Sadly though, it is the only book published by Mary Anne Shaffer. Because of the book's immense Global popularity, it has most definitely put Guernsey on the map. Definitely one to chat about at book clubs.

Who else thinks they should make a Tales of Symphonia Prequel about the Kharlan War?
Tales of Symphonia was probably the best game ever made for the gamecube, but it left so many questions about Mithos and his companions during the kharlan war. I think they should make a game that covers this storyline and lets you play as Mithos and his companions (whose names I will not mention out of consideration for those who have not beaten the game yet). Does anyone have any ideas about what the game could be about. plot, character development etc.?
yeah, thats what me and my cousin thought about when we finished the first Tales of Symphonia. i loved the first one, its one of my all-time favorites, but i hated the second one. If they made a new one, the original party should be Mithos, Kratos, Yuan, and Martel. and then they would meet up with other characters like Botta (i can't remember if he was alive back then). im not really sure what the plot would be. i guess just the group trying to get the summon spirits and end the Kharlan War by splitting the world in two
