Master’s Book Club
For those of you who’ve already read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, or if you’re looking for a more challenging read with thematic connections to Guernsey, be sure to check out the Master’s Book Club selections on our website. ( http://www.saratogareads.org/mastersbooks0910.cfm ) I read Corelli’s Mandolin this fall (challenging in many ways, but I highly recommend it, especially if you enjoyed Guernsey), and the similarities to Guernsey are striking – I was especially struck by the ability of the islanders in both cases to remain upbeat during and after their respective occupations.
Has anyone else read Corelli’s Mandolin, 84, Charing Cross Road, or another book with similarities to Guernsey?
