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 . . .
Misfit women rule ina beguiling taleof unlikely love. Moyeswrites with warmth and intelligence. . . the most appealing thing about The Giver of Stars, however, isher wonderful way with romance.Delightful
This blisteringly good novel is one to add to your basket quick smart
Her best yet
Jojo's characterisation is so vivid, and the insight into the gender and race discrimination of the 1930s is truly eye opening
Her best book yet. It's a romance - but about female friends, the outdoors and the magic of reading
Moyes' best yet. . . A stonker of a read. Laced withhumour and heartache, it's addictive
While her novel is set in the midst of the Great Depression, Moyes crafts a tale that'sremarkably contemporary.Moyes depicts the courage and resourcefulness of these womenin loving detail. A tribute not just to the brave womenwho brought the light of knowledge in dark times, but also tothe rejuvenating bond of women's friendship.
It's anextraordinary story.This is the best thing she has written sinceMe Before You.Moyes writes withgusto and compassion
Based on a true story, thispoignant novel is a celebration of strong women and friendship.With afast-paced plotandintricate characters,fans of Moyes won't be disappointed
She's done it again! Joyous. I loved this adventure story for girls for its plucky female characters and wonderful writing

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A REESE WITHERSPOON x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB PICK "I've been a huge Jojo Moyes fan. Her characters are so compelling. . . It's such a great narrative about personal strength and really captures how books bring communities together." -Reese Witherspoon From the author of Me Before You, set in Depression-era America, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond. 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!
