The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Society
London, 1946. Juliet (Lily James), a charismatic and free-spirited writer
receives a letter from a member of a mysterious literary club started in
Nazi-occupied Guernsey. Her curiosity piqued, Juliet decides to visit the
island.
There she meets the delightfully eccentric members of the Guernsey Literary
and Potato Peel Pie Society, including Dawsey (Michiel Huisman), the rugged and
intriguing farmer who wrote her the letter. As the secrets from their wartime
past unfold, Juliet's growing attachment to the island, the book club and her
affection for Dawsey will change the course of her life forever.
A beautiful story of love, friendship and the sadness of friends lost.
