From the author of Me Before You, a fabulous story about five extraordinary women who try to change their world with the power of books. Inspired by a thirst for adventure and the desire to leave the monotony of England behind, Alice Wright falls in love with an attractive American and makes the impulsive decision to accept his marriage proposal. But her new life in the small, conservative mining town in Kentucky where Alice settles with her husband and authoritarian father-in-law in the midst of the Great Depression turns out to be even more claustrophobic. Until she meets Margery O'Hare. Independent and outspoken, Margery has never asked a man's permission for anything in her life, and now she's determined to bring the miracle of books to every corner of the region. On horseback, traversing mountains and wild forests, and often fighting against prejudice and ignorance, Alice, Margery, and their companions become itinerant librarians while discovering freedom, friendship, love, and a life that finally belongs to them. Critics have said... «One of the best books to give this Christmas.» «Moyes is the best contemporary British writer.» «Characters so real that it feels like they are close friends and a fascinating story brought together in a beautiful and special novel. I loved it and didn't want it to end!» «A tribute to the power of reading and the strength of a community... A must-read book.» «A wonderful novel. The Giver of Stars is an overwhelming, spectacular, and enormously evocative book full of wonderfully combative women.» «Inspired by a true story, this is an absorbing read about friendship and female solidarity in adverse circumstances... Funny, moving, and totally captivating: Moyes' best novel to date.» «Epic in ambition and fiercely feminist... An unforgettable story.» «Moyes brings to life a frequently forgotten episode of history... A love letter to the power of books and friendship.» On blogs: «Jojo Moyes always knows how to get her stories and characters right and envelops everything with that delicacy and depth that characterizes her prose.» «It is a story of love for books, of survival, and of a great and deep friendship... Tender, moving, and with a lot of magic.» |
