The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society, Mary Ann Schaffer


This was a great choice for an audiobook, and the multiple narrators saying who they were and who was writing to whom was really helpful, especially as I tend to dip in and out of audiobooks in 15 minute increments. 

The structure of using letters to tell this story was fun & the story itself held my interest.  Characters were uneven in the development and credibility, and I wonder if Juliette came across as more sympathetic in print than her reader in the book conveyed by her tone.  I didn't think the book was a masterpiece, but it was very enjoyable as a story & the audio format worked really well for once.
