These heroic women refuse to be cowed by men or by convention. What happens to them–and to the men they love–becomes an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. 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. 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. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. My book review today is on Jojo Moyes’s “The Giver of Stars.” Here is the summary written on Jojo Moyes’s website:Īlice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. I’ve thankfully had more time to read recently, finished one book, and already 1/3 of the way through another one – so I’m hoping this is the start of many good book reviews to come. And then it took me quite awhile to finish my next book – ha! Funny how that worked out. Well hi guys! I feel like I mentioned forever ago that I wanted to start book reviews on the blog.
