The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Just after World War II, a young newspaper columnist accepts an invitation to leave London and visit an underground book club that helped sustain the residents of Guernsey when their island fell under German occupation. Love wasn’t part of her plan, but when Lily James’ Juliet meets Michiel Huisman’s Guernsey pig farmer, she’s not sure she can return to her man back home. If you like period romances, you couldn’t ask for more. Available for streaming Friday, Aug. 10, Netflix
