Goodreads asked Sarah Shoemaker:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Sarah Shoemaker After a lot of consideration, I think I would like to be in the World War II years in England, the time of JAMBUSTERS (seen on Masterpiece Theater as HOME FIRES), THE CHILBURY LADIES' CHOIR, THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL SOCIETY, and EVERYONE BRAVE IS FORGIVEN, and many other novels. This was a time of serious threat of invasion, but also a time when many men were called to war and women, many of whom had never had a life outside the home, had to step forward and take over what had once been man's work. It was a scary time, but also a time of great emancipation for women and a time when everyone was called upon to be brave and to stand up and bear whatever difficulties occurred. It was not easy, but still freeing.
