1946. London. Juliet Ashton is a writer looking for the subject of her next work.
Out of the blue, she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams who lives on the small island of Guernsey after he stumbles across her name written in a book. Books are rare on Guernsey, although they have a book club called "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society".
Several islanders begin corresponding with Juliet, and she begins to know them and their stories over the months.
She learns that their book club brings together friendships based on literature and provides friendship and fellowship for the islands people recovering from the the terrible times during the German occupation.
Juliet decides to travel to Guernsey to meet her new friends. Over the next few months, she learns how their book club provided so much comfort for the islanders who were able to bond over literature. Juliet creates many new friendships with the eclectic island residents, discovers love and even finds the perfect material for her next book.
Loved this one too.
