by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie BarrowsI wish I could give this four-and-one-half stars because it's just so darn delicious. I should read it on paper to see if has the same kick. The audiobook was narrated by four voices, each taking on multiple characters as they read the letters back and forth between Juliet, her publisher Sidney, and the friendly people on the Isle of Guernsey, off the coast of France. It takes place immediately after World War II and gives a vivid glimpse into people's experiences during and after the war.
As Juliet gets to know the people, and herself, and they get to know her, and themselves, the magic unfolds as gently and delightfully as a time-elapsed blossom. Don't expect high drama, scandal, murder or mayhem in these pages--but be prepared for someone to get a smart slap in the face when needed.
