The Giver Of Stars

Beskrivelse

Set in late 1930s England and Kentucky, this story follows Alice Wright, who leaves her old life behind to marry an American and finds herself in a small town that’s far from the escape she imagined. Her life takes a turn when she meets Margery O'Hare, a woman determined to bring books and hope to their community.

A heartfelt tale of friendship, freedom, and the transformative power of books.

Alice Wright, feeling trapped and restless in England, impulsively marries wealthy Bennett Van Cleve and moves to Baileyville, Kentucky. However, the town is far from the adventure she dreamed of, with a husband who prioritizes work and a domineering father-in-law casting a shadow over her new life.

Everything changes when Alice crosses paths with Margery O'Hare, a rebellious woman with a notorious past. Margery is on a mission to spread the joy of reading to those forgotten by society, and she enlists Alice's help.

Together with other women known as the "sisters of the trail," they embark on solitary journeys through vast mountain landscapes, discovering not only the freedom they crave but also deep friendships and a sense of belonging.

As the town of Baileyville turns against them, their trust in each other and the power of books are put to the ultimate test.

Inspired by a true story, The Giver of Stars introduces five remarkable women whose courage and spirit will captivate readers just as much as Jojo Moyes’ beloved heroine Lou Clark from Me Before You.
