It started with the name...

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2018)

The name it's usually a presentation card for anyone or anything, and the "potato peel pie society" definitely caught my attention. What does have to do with literature and the island of Guernsey? So far the story seems promising...pop corn, romance, an island, reading books and potato pie; however, none would expect the grounds in which this movie is based. A group of Guernsey's locals gets into literature reading during the Nazi occupation in the 40's. A few years later, a promising writer from London, also affected by Second World War, lands on this place pulled by desires and feelings yet for her to discover. An excellent story told in a very sensitive way with great actors.
