While we’re thinking about it, let’s talk about literary tourism! Would you ever take a trip to Guernsey? Or anywhere else inspired by a book? What literary tourism have you participated in? Where do you dream of visiting?

While our contest winners were on the beautiful island of Guernsey, a local British television station did a great story about Guernsey, the book and the book club winners! Check it out here: http://www.channelonline.tv/channelonline_guernseynews/displayarticle.asp?id=453848

Virtual book club! First question!

A reader posted a comment to one of our posts that got us thinking–why not pose the question to everyone? Think of this as an online book club discussion. From time to time, we’ll post questions, you weigh in with your thoughts!

This one comes to us from Debbie Hernick, who said:

I absolutely LOVED this book! My book group is discussing it next week and everyone is very excited. I have one question- why are there no letters from Sophie? Juliet references Sophie’s letters but the authors never show them to the reader. Any thoughts?

What do you think? Do you see a reason the authors would have made this choice?
