Published on March 27th, 2018

Thanks to our friends at Studio Canal we have five in-season double passes to give away to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, based on the internationally best-selling novel by Mary Ann Shaffer. The film is a beautiful and romantic story, set in the aftermath of World War II, about a free-spirited writer that meets an inspiring group of people who will change her life forever.

The film stars Lily James (Cinderella, Baby Driver, The Darkest Hour, Downton Abbey), Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones, The Age of Adaline), Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey), Matthew Goode (Match Point, Imitation Game), Penelope Wilton (Downton Abbey, The BFG) and Tom Courtenay (Quartet)

It is directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral)

Here’s a brief synopsis of the film:

London, 1946. Juliet (Lily James), a charismatic and free-spirited writer, receives a letter from a member of a mysterious literary club started in Nazi-occupied Guernsey. Her curiosity piqued, Juliet decides to visit the island. There she meets the delightfully eccentric members of the Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society, including Dawsey (Michiel Huisman), the rugged and intriguing farmer who wrote her the letter. As the secrets from their wartime past unfold, Juliet’s growing attachment to the island, the book club and her affection for Dawsey will change the course of her life forever.
