Today my the Pawleys Plantation Book Club Met at the Traditions Plantation Clubhouse for our annual luncheon and to discuss The Guernsey Literacy and Potato Peel Society. The fictional characters are based upon
the very real living conditions of British citizens living on the German
occupied British Isle of Guernsey during WWII. It is a tale of hope,
and the strength of spirit that helped them support one another and
survive the dire conditions they found themselves in.
As always the group first met to discuss basic business and to greet new members
Since much of
the book's plot revolved around social dining events the characters
devised to give themselves a chance to discuss the contraband books they
were reading, our group felt that a luncheon composed of the menus
mentioned in the book would be appropriate way to kick of our new year
Various food that were in the book were laid out on a spearate table for us to examine and discuss prior to having lunch
Half the fun was anticipating what the potato peel pie would taste like.
The Chef at the Traditions Clubhouse outdid himself with the menu.

We all had a great time. I am so fortunate to have found such a creative book club
