At the end of the 1940s, young London writer Juliet Ashton (Lily James) receives an unusual letter from the remote Channel Island of Guernsey. The sender turns out to be the literature-loving farmer Dawsey Adams (Michiel Huisman), who asks her for help in finding a special book. A stimulating exchange of letters ensues, in which Juliet learns that Dawsey, together with other islanders, founded a literary society with the strange name "Guernsey Friends of Poetry and Potato Peel Casserole" during the German occupation. The reading circle was originally set up as a white lie to legitimize a secret roast pork dinner among neighbors and the subsequent walk home during the night curfew from a Nazi patrol. To keep the legend alive, the three women and two men met regularly and with increasing enthusiasm to recite poetry and read their favorite books to each other. The book club helped them through the Second World War and the humiliation of the occupation. That's why the reading circle continued to exist after the war and is now reason enough for Juliet to travel to Guernsey to find out more about it. Although her publisher (Matthew Goode) was about to send her on a reading tour, she would rather take some time out. The writer is warmly welcomed by the club members and quickly becomes fascinated by the rugged beauty of the island and its inhabitants. She is particularly taken with the single parent Dawsey, although her fiance, US soldier Markham Reynolds (Glen Powell), is waiting for her in London. She decides to stay longer and write about the unusual book club. In the process, she discovers a sad secret about its founder, Elizabeth McKenna (Jessica Brown Findlay), who is nowhere to be found.
