Set in Depression-era America, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond, from the author of Me Before You
Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically.
The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky.
What happens to them--and to the men they love--becomes an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by men or by convention. And though they face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly beautiful, at others brutal, they’re committed to their job: bringing books to people who have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives.
Based on a true story rooted in America’s past, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope and epic in its storytelling. Funny, heartbreaking, enthralling, it is destined to become a modern classic--a richly rewarding novel of women’s friendship, of true love, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond.
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!
Lots of STARS for The Giver of Stars What makes a great story? Well-developed characters that you want to know more and more about, story-writing that makes you laugh in parts, and cry in others, a well-developed story line with a problem you just want to skip to the end to find out what happens but you don't because you don't want to miss anything, a sprinkle or two of romance, and an ending that leaves a smile on your face. The Giver of Stars has all that and more in this historical fiction novel. (I'm stingy with my 5-star ratings. I am giving this 4.5 stars only because I felt the story start to drag a tiny bit, but I think that was just my anxiousness at wanting the "big problem" to be resolved). Well done, Jojo Moyes!Mesmerizing A delightful story, with authentic voices and lifestyles of eastern Kentucky during the thirties.And I bet if one rode up into the hills and deep dark corners of Kentucky and West Virginia today, one could still find people and cabins described in this tale. A fine tribute to books, librarians, and to the joy of reading.The history of the moving library I like Jojo Moyes. This book was special in many ways. First, the history of how these women, during the depression, carried library books on horseback in all kinds of weather to the backwoods of Kentucky, was inspiring and unknown to many of us. The joy that it gave to families in hard times was enormous. Maybe it is time to do this again?And her characters were varied and well developed. A good read! Could not put it down and read it in one day.
