The
Giver of Stars
by Jojo Moyes
by Jojo Moyes
Fans of public libraries, reading,
books, and strong women are going to love this book. Getting books to residents
of a small town in Kentucky was a challenge during the Depression. A group of
women with different backgrounds banded together in this historical novel to
deliver the books on horseback through the mountains. The weather, greedy men,
racism, sexism, and societal norms of the time were all added challenges. I
loved the examples of how access to information improved the lives of the
people reached by these tough librarians.
