Enchanted by the island's literary society, Juliet is intrigued to learn that the group formed during German occupation as a clever way to evade curfew restrictions. As she delves deeper into their story, she uncovers a heartwarming tale of friendship and resilience amidst adversity.Through letters exchanged with Dawsey, his friends, and the charming yet quirky society founder, Juliet is drawn into a world that transcends the physical boundaries of Guernsey.
