Set in 1946, the novel follows Juliet Ashton, a British writer and former war journalist, as she discovers the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society through a letter from Dawsey Adams.

The book is a celebration of the written word, human resilience, and the power of community and literature to overcome adversity.
