About the Movie
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a British historic drama. The film is based on the 2008 novel of the same name, written by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. The novel reached the No. 1 position on The New York Times’ best-seller list for paperbacks.
The movie is set in 1946 during the aftermath of World War II and follows journalist Juliet Ashton, a charismatic and free-spirited writer. Juliet 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, 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. She makes lifelong friends and takes life-changing steps along the way. It’s a beautiful story of love, friendship and the sadness of friends lost.
For all you Downton Abbey fans, you are in for a treat. Four of the actors, including Juliet, were in Downton Abbey.
