內容簡介
英國女作家茱麗葉收到一封來自遙遠根西島的陌生人來信，他在一本二手書發現了她的名字和地址，由於很想再讀作者的其他作品，因此寫信與她聯繫，還提及島上成立「根西馬鈴薯皮派文學讀書會」的由來。茱麗葉對島上的一切感到很好奇，於是雙方開始通信，也與讀書會的其他成員魚雁往返，他們談閱讀對人生的影響，談逆境中堅強活下去的力量，也談生活中的甘甜苦澀。
隨著和島民的情誼日漸深厚，茱麗葉決定親自前往根西島一遊，一開始是為了收集下一本新書的題材，沒想到她的生命因此有了意想不到的轉折……值得一提的是，這本小說採用書信體寫成，一封封情意真摯的信件在英國倫敦、蘇格蘭、海峽中的根西島、法國之間往返傳情，讀者就像展讀塵封在櫃子底部的一封封信件，逐漸串聯起令人歡笑又落淚的故事全貌。此書再次肯定閱讀的不朽和人性的不平凡，令人不禁憶起《查令十字路84號》的越洋情誼。這是一個關於書、關於愛情與友情的抉擇、關於歷史與記憶的美好故事。
