The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society	comment	The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a 2018 romantic comedy-drama film based on the 2008 novel of the same name. It was directed by Mike Newell and stars Lily James, Michiel Huisman, Glen Powell, Jessica Brown Findlay, Katherine Parkinson, Matthew Goode, Tom Courtenay, and Penelope Wilton.It is 1946. Juliet Ashton (James) is an up-and-coming London writer fresh off the success of her new book and struggling to cope with the loss of her parents in the war. She receives a letter from Dawsey Adams (Huisman), a farmer from Guernsey, who introduces himself as part of the "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" and asks for her help in locating a book. From this, they strike up a correspondence. Juliet is intrigued by the formation of the Society and since she has to write an article about the benefits of reading, decides to pay them a visit. She is charmed by Guernsey and the titular book club's other members — elderly postman Eben (Courtenay), lonely romantic Isola (Parkinson), and stern but motherly Amelia (Wilton) — but eventually becomes curious about the whereabouts of the last founding member, Elizabeth (Brown Findlay).A British-French production, the film was released in the United Kingdom in April 2018 and in France in June 2018. Netflix released the film in other international areas in August of the same year.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society / int_1d2605eb	comment	Adorably Precocious Child: A soberingly downplayed version with Eli, Eben's grandson. Even when he was only seven, he was aware of the threat that the Germans posed, and at that age he evacuated home with many of the island's kids to the mainland for several years. Now that he's back, the Society has fully taken him under their wing so that he can catch up on his education.

Explicit when it comes to raising Kit - both of her parents are dead, if she has living grandparents they don't know of her. But she has "adoptive" parents in Dawesey and eventually Juliet, grandparents in Julia and Eben, an aunt in Isola and a brother in Eli. It's even lampshaded by Juliet in her story.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: The film cuts Remy Giraud and her subplot. There is a small reference to her in Juliet's notes when Juliet finds the flowers she pressed into the notebook, but that's it. The society in the original novel also had several more members (including a few more who were present during the night of the roast pig dinner), but they were cut out for the sake of focusing on the more structured narrative of the film.

Also, Lily James' character fills the void left by Elizabeth, just like how Lady Rose MacClare Aldridge was a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for the spot left by Brown Findlay.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society / int_3f45f1e6	type	Adaptational Heroism
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: With Mark, Juliet's Disposable FiancÃ©. In the novel, Mark is much more smarmy and shady. Juliet actually turns him down when he proposes (more than once), already having a feeling they're not right for each other, and he's shown to be a lot more controlling and egotistic underneath his grand romantic gestures. In fact, Juliet recounts in her letter that he actually caused a scene after she turned him down - enough to make her cry, which in turn makes him remorseful, though Juliet wisely maintains her rejection as she notes she doesn't think it's healthy to be with someone who only calms down and apologizes after she's bursts into tears (instead of, y'know, just not making a scene in the first place.) It's commented upon by Sidney in the novel that Mark isn't actually in love with Juliet, he just wants to have a popular writer who happens to be a beautiful woman as a prop beside him to mingle in London high society. He's also a publishing competitor, so there's that. In the film, Mark has none of those shady, toxic characteristics and is a lot more pleasant. Juliet actually accepts his proposal his gusto early on in the film. Instead of a new money publisher from America who is condescending about Juliet's time in Guernsey, he's in the American military and actually uses his connections to help Juliet discover Elizabeth's whereabouts. He's not happy about Juliet being away for so long, but he is accepting enough. Though in both the film and the novel he makes a point of arriving in Guernsey and interrupting Juliet's trip, making it known to everyone (particularly Dawsey) that he's Juliet's fiancÃ©, essentially staking his claim, it's more understandable with this film's version of Mark. When she breaks off their engagement in the end, the reasoning amounts more to their differing lifestyles than Mark's actual character and she even feels a bit guilty about it. A break up that Mark takes remarkably well after an initial but understandable upset response, even taking a moment to give Juliet a conciliatory kiss on the head before he leaves to show no hard feelings.
