Annie, the following is the reply I received from my business contact in the London area:

Of course I will help out if I can. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to track down a copy of the Guernsey Society Review yet, but will keep trying over the next few days and will let you know if I can get a copy.

However, to be going on with, below are the web addresses of some of our UK newspapers' reviews of the book you are interested in - hope these are of some help.

Ah, thank you. That's lovely. Reviews are strange, though, aren't they? One paper says it's jarringly modern and NOT BRITISH and the other congratulates Mary Ann on her grasp of the period. I suppose it's not fair to take the bits you like and dump the rest, but then you're left with utter confusion. In any case, thanks to you and your friend.  Annie

Well said Deb! We're all fans here Annie and we're finding you more all of the time. I've been telling everyone about it. I bet you're aunt knows how well it's doing too. You both did an amazing job!

I totally agree with you.  I am loaning my copy out this weekend to someone who loves books and will appreciate it.  I was at my library last night and was surprised to see a copy there.  They tend to be a little slow.   I told the librarian to take it home with her to read and we'd discuss it next week.

I'm a big fan of librarians--did you know that Mary Ann and I both worked--at the same time--at our little hometown library? Give her my best.
