Victor Hugo by Graham Robb
Since Victor Hugo is the only reason I stopped in Guernsey, I felt a biography was appropriate. Graham Robb's biography is recent and received good reviews. Skimming through it, I see passages about French politics and life in Guernsey. I'll probably enjoy it even more after visiting Paris.
The bookstore had the most famous works of Victor Hugo in English (including Toilers of the Sea), but nothing I hadn't read before. There were plenty of other books about Guernsey and the other Channel Islands. Most were histories, cookbooks, or books about the local language.
