The spellbinding story of love, friendship and the power of words to change the world by the international bestselling author of Me Before You

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 new love she's found will be lost . . .

Read by Audie-award winner Julie Whelan.

'Her best novel yet. Julian Whelan [is] the perfect reader' The Times

Profile Avatar Beverley T. Jun 2020

Brilliant! I felt really connected to the characters and the suspense within in the story had me hooked.

And she did it again. Jojo Moyes brings characters to life right in my car. "The Giver of Stars" has everything. The rich, powerful men, that think that they can do whatever they want without consequences. The strong, fighting women that have to face challenges over and over again. And it is especially the female characters that make the story. It is all about friendship, decision making, social status, and - of course - love. If you haven't read or listened to this book yet, you are missing out.

Lovely book, beautifully told. The narrator does an excellent job of transporting you to a different time.

Profile Avatar Dori H. Feb 2020

Really didn’t think I would enjoy this. Stopped a few times, but persevered. Fell in love with the characters, partly due to the narrator. Great book to escape to

Profile Avatar Fenella B. Jan 2020

Absolutely loved this cannot recommend it enough. Had the usual romantic interest but had more substance to it. Fantastic characters and wonderful supportive relationships between the women as well as having a very interesting historical setting. Amazing narrator the best I have heard yet.

Captivating story. Sometimes you find yourself just where you least expect it.
