The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
London in 1946, journalist Juliet Ashton is searching for her next subject when she receives a letter from a man she has never met. By chance, Dawsey Adams has come into possession of a book Juliet once owned. Based on their mutual love of literature, Dawsey writes to tell her about The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. This society was formed alongside the Nazi occupation of the island of Guernsey. Its members are a varied and eccentric bunch.
Juliet begins a correspondence with Dawsey, then eventually, all members of the society. Through these letters she learns about their island, their war-time experiences and the books they love. Entranced by their stories, Juliet decides to make the journey to Guernsey and meet them all in person, not realising that this decision will change her life forever.
