THE GREATEST LOVE STORY IS THE ONE YOU LEAST EXPECT . . .
Alice Wright doesn't love her new American husband.
Nor her domineering father-in-law or the judgmental townsfolk of Baileyville, Kentucky.
Stifled and misunderstood, she yearns for escape and finds it in defiant Margery O'Hare and the sisterhood bringing books to the isolated and vulnerable.
But when her father-in-law and the town turn against them, Alice fears the freedom, friendship and the new love she's found will be lost . . .

HER
BEST
NOVEL
YET
Inspiring and wildly romantic
An entertaining, immersive and moving read.The Giver of Stars isrip-roaringpopular fiction . . . but it is also a novel thatcelebrates education, intellectual curiosity and, above all, books and the knowledge, comfort, company and power that they can bring.Moyes shines a light on a historic footnote to pay tribute to women's work, endurance and female solidarity
For years I've been ahuge Jojo Moyes fan.It'ssuch a great narrativeaboutpersonal strength and really captures how books bring communities together,especially for these women who are completely bonded by their love of literature
Agenuinely entertainingbook that'sa perfect gift for people who need some escape from the everyday and just want to be absorbed in a really cracking story.Set in rural America in the 1930s, it's got a band offeisty characterswho arefunny and sweet with contemporary resonancesto boot
Withcharacters so real they feel like dear friendsand acompelling storyline, this isa beautiful, special novel. I loved it and didn't want it to end!
What awonderful novel.The Giver of Starsis the most sweeping, dramatic, richly evocative book, full of brilliantly feisty women. I whipped through the pages,utterly agog, pretty much feeling as though I was on a horse in 1930s Kentucky myself
Epic
Timeless, Jojo Moyes' greatest work yet, and one of the most exquisitely-written - and absolutely compulsory - novels about women ever told.Brilliant and perfect and will remind you of why you read; even of why you breathe
Purest joy- even as itcheerfully breaks your heart.A go-get-em adventure about E Roosevelt's horseback librarians, itcelebrates female friendship and the power of books
Both a love letter to reading and a hymn to female friendship, this is a talepacked full of romance, tension, and brilliantly drawn characters. Pure pleasure
Utterly enchanting
I loved this dashing adventureset in 1930s Kentucky, America.Intensely moving and crammed with romance and emotion,this is a full-pack-of-tissues novel.
Based on a true story of the real Horseback Librarians of Kentucky this wasa truly joyous and divine read.Therich, determined, extraordinary charactersconsumed me. The history, the setting;everything about this glorious book is superb
Dipped into this on Saturday and then simplycouldn't put it down. Superb characters, great story and sense of place.For me,her best yet.And I wept buckets overMe Before You!
Touching on the still-burning issues of control, violence, poverty and racism, Moyes has createda rollicking story that's perfect for long autumn nights. Enjoy . . .
