The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society has all the swoon-worthy romance of Pride and Prejudice, but with a post-World War II setting and a more complicated emotional journey. Juliet, a successful author, begins corresponding with the book society of Guernsey, a tiny island in the English Channel between Britain and France. She then decides to visit them in person, where she meets Dawsey Adams and discovers that their book club also served as a cover for undercover activities during the war. As Juliet spends more time with her newfound friends, she begins to question her career while also uncovering a few major secrets that the Guernsey club has been concealing.
