The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society

The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society (2018) is a romantic historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Mike Newell adapted the 2008 bestselling novel by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, with Lily James leading a cast that includes Michiel Huisman, Matthew Goode, Tom Courtenay, and Penelope Wilton.

London, 1946. Writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a man on the small island of Guernsey — a member of a peculiar book club that formed during the German occupation as a cover story for neighbours gathering after curfew. One invented excuse led to another, strangers became friends, and the books they read together turned into something that held them through the worst of the war. Juliet is drawn into their story so completely that she sails to the island herself. Michiel Huisman plays Dawsey, the quiet farmer whose first letter started it all; Matthew Goode plays the polished fiancé Juliet left behind in the city.

Much of the film was shot on location in Guernsey and across the English countryside. Watch The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society (2018) online on iFILM — an intimate story about letters, loss, and the people books bring together.
