Hello Readers! This Susan Sanford, again, library assistant.
I just finished alternately listening to and reading "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer and her niece, Annie Barrows. I have to admit to being delightfully surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Sometimes I am disappointed in popular fiction but this one really charmed me. I laughed out loud and chuckled many times.
The book is written entirely in letters among a dozen or so characters with a couple of primary ones. In the case of this book, I definitely preferred listening to it over reading it, mostly because the audio book uses different actors/readers for each character and they all did such an excellent job. It piqued my interest in the Channel Islands (which I didn't know existed!) and life in England during World War II. This is Ms. Shaffer's first book. Her niece stepped in to help finish the book due to Ms. Shaffer's illness.
