The novel is set in Depression-era America in the mountains of Kentucky and follows the journey of five extraordinary women on a remarkable journey that will change their lives forever. Alice Wright is a young woman from England who has recently married local American, Bennett Van Cleve. At first, Alice is hoping for an escape from her stifling life in England, but small-town Kentucky proves to be just as claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law.
Alice decides to sign up for Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, which calls for a team of women to deliver books to those who have never had any before. And so, Alice meets Margery, a self-sufficient woman who has never asked a man’s permission for anything, and together, they lead a team of women known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky.
What ensues is an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity, and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by men or convention and face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly beautiful, at others brutal. But what they are committed to is their job, bringing books to people who have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives.
Based on true events, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope and epic in its storytelling. It is a richly rewarding novel of women’s friendship, true love, and of what happens when we push past our limitations and reach for something greater.
