Storyline

A correspondence begins between Juliet Ashton (Lily James) and members of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, with them sharing their experiences of Nazi-occupied Guernsey Island. When an idea for a book catches Juliet, she goes to visit the island, making life-long friends and taking life changing steps along the way. This book is told by way of letters, and as the reader, you become enchanted by the writers of them and the love Juliet comes to feel for each of the Islanders; Dawsey Adams (Michiel Huisman), Amelia Maugery (Dame Penelope Wilton), Isola Pribby (Katherine Parkinson), Eben Ramsey (Sir Tom Courtenay), Kit (Florence Keen), and Elizabeth McKenna (Jessica Brown Findlay). — Cathryn McDowell Free-spirited writer Juliet Ashton forms a life-changing bond with the delightful and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey in WWII. — yusufpiskin London after the Second World War. Juliet Ashton works as a journalist and author in the city and tries to put the traumatic memories of the war behind her. Her publisher Sidney is trying to organize a reading tour for her across the country, and her fiancé Mark wants to take her to his home state of New York. She puts them both off for the time being, not yet knowing what to expect from life. One day she receives an unusual letter, sent by Dawsey Adams, a farmer from the Channel Island of Guernsey, who has acquired an antiquarian book that previously belonged to Juliet. A lively correspondence ensues, during the course of which Juliet learns of the existence of the "Guernsey Friends of Poetry and Potato Peel Casserole": In 1941, Dawsey, Elizabeth McKenna, Eben Ramsey, Amelia Maugery and Isola Pribby were walking on the Nazi-occupied British Channel island of Guernsey under strict curfew and were stopped by armed German soldiers. To avoid arrest, Elizabeth unceremoniously invented the book club with the unusual name to explain the late walk home. Juliet is curious and sets off for Guernsey. There, however, she is not exactly welcomed with open arms; Isola in particular reacts indignantly to her questions - and Elizabeth apparently no longer lives on the island. Little by little, Juliet learns a secret that the members of the club are afraid to reveal. However, her stay in Guernsey and especially her encounter with Dawsey will change her life forever.
