"Janvier 1946. Tandis que Londres se relève douloureusement de la guerre, Juliet, jeune écrivain, cherche un sujet pour son prochain roman. Comment pourrait-elle imaginer que la lettre d'un inconnu, natif de l'île de Guernesey, va le lui fournir ? Au fil de ses échanges avec son nouveau correspondant, Juliet pénètre un monde insoupçonné, délicieusement excentrique ; celui d'un club de lecture au nom étrange inventé pour tromper l'occupant allemand : le 'Cercle littéraire des amateurs d'épluchures de patates'. De lettre en lettre, Juliet découvre l'histoire d'une petite communauté débordante de charme, d'humour, d'humanité. Et puis vient le jour où, à son tour, elle se rend à Guernesey... Fantasque, drôle, tendre et incroyablement attachant... Bienvenue dans 'Le Cercle littéraire des amateurs d'épluchures de patates' !" [Source : 4e de couv., tirage 2010]
