The little known story of the German invasion of Guernsey forms the backdrop to this cozy romantic mystery drama.
The romance is fairly humdrum (almost as soon as you see two characters you'll guess their destiny) - but it's significantly elevated by appealing performances from all of the cast, glimpses of what British life under German occupation would have been like had they managed to invade mainland Britain and the slow unfolding of the mystery behind the titular society's reluctance to tell their story.
Verdict: Unusual setting for a wonderfully romantic drama.
