Recently, at Friends of the Lafayette Library's Sweet Thursday Literary Salon, Annie Barrows, co-author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (#3 - NY Times Bestseller List), shared tales about her aunt, Mary Ann Shaffer, the story’s now deceased original author.
A long-time living room storyteller, Shaffer's turn of phrase was legendary.
Favorite quote …
Barrows, on how she’d addressed rewrites successfully, despite joining the project late, after Shaffer’s cancer diagnosis:
“I knew how (my aunt) told a story because she’d been telling me stories since before I knew they were stories.”
