The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: A Guide for Book Clubs

There can be no doubt that the amount of research book group members get around to before a meeting directly impacts on how well the book club goes. An abundance of ideas lead to more entertaining discussions. Unfortunately, not everyone has the time to read the book group choice and trawl through academic study guides, reviews and literary websites, searching for inspiration.

The Reading Room Book Group Guides are designed to help you get the absolute best from your book club meetings. Written to bridge the gap between overly academic study guides and some of the inaccurate web information available, the companion guides are thoroughly researched but written in an accessible style to suit readers from all backgrounds. Bring the guides along to your meetings and you will have a wealth of useful information to draw on at your fingertips. 

A comprehensive guide to this contemporary classic, this book includes 15 thought-provoking Discussion Questions for your group to discuss; useful background literary and historical information; biographies of the authors; a detailed plot summary, notes on themes; lists of recommended further reading, a quiz and even a recipe to make your own Potato Peel Pie.
