Set against the backdrop of the German-occupied Isle of Jersey in 1943, 'The Wartime Book Club' tells the inspiring story of Grace La Mottée, the island's librarian, who defies orders to destroy books that threaten Nazi rule. Instead, Grace clandestinely preserves these stories, teaming up with her best friend Bea Rose. The pair boldly create an underground book club to offer hope and escape through literature to their oppressed community. As the occupation extends, their seemingly small acts of defiance loom large, bringing with them the risk of deadly consequences. Thus unfolds a vivid tale that celebrates the defiant power of books and the indomitable human spirit amid the horrors of war.
