Janvier 1946. Tandis que Londres se relève douloureusement des drames de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Juliet, jeune écrivain, cherche un sujet pour son prochain roman. La lettre d'un inconnu, natif de Guernesey, va le lui fournir. Juliet pénètre alors un monde insoupçonné, délicieusement excentrique ; celui d'un club de lecture au nom étrange inventé pour tromper l'occupant allemand. De lettre en lettre, Juliet découvre l'histoire d'une petite communauté débordante de charme, d'humour, d'humanité. Et puis vient le jour où elle se rend à Guernesey.
