The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

In 1941, on the island of Guernsey, four friends are stopped by soldiers for breaching curfew during German occupation. Five years later, in January 1946 in post-war London, author Juliet Ashton is promoting her latest book, written under her pen name Izzy Bickerstaff. She has just been contracted through her publisher and best friend Sidney Stark to write stories for The Times Literary Supplement about the benefits of literature. When a letter from Dawsey Adams arrives, requesting help finding another book by Charles Lamb, Juliet agrees to travel to Guernsey to learn more about his book club, "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society".
