Book description
Before leaving Sheffield for a year's adventure in France, 18 year-old Jess joins a family gathering. They share stories that have bound them together through generations. Stories of heartbreak, humour and romance. She listens to the tale of her grandparents, whose love kept them together in spite of family conflicts; of her other granny Dorothy's daily toil from the dirt and grime of the buffing wheel; and of her parents' first meeting. And, of course, there's Jess's own story too. Granny was a Buffer Girl won the Carnegie Medal in 1986. Illustrated by Tamsin Rosewell.

The convenience of having a library at my fingertips is unparalleled. π‘ This app truly understands the needs of audiobook enthusiasts β it delivers an effortless and enjoyable listening experience. ππ§ This audiobook exceeded all my expectations! The narrator's ability to convey emotion through voice alone was remarkable. I laughed, I gasped, I might have even teared up at points - all because of the incredible vocal performance.

The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable.
