The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
4.0

I really liked this book! I really enjoyed the setting, the characters and the growth throughout the book. Alice is amazing and I am so in awe of her character. So many times throughout this book, I was amazed at the bravery coming from such incredible women in the 1930’s, I love reading about powerful women! I read this for my IRL book club this month and we had a great time discussing it over Zoom last night ✨

Synopsis: Set in the 1930’s, Alice Wright married American Bennett Gan Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. Alice has to live next to her overbearing father-in-law and that doesn’t go well. So when Alice joins a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, she learns more about what the small community in Kentucky is like. She grows in her friendship, independence and love for others! This book based on true stories will sure take you on a ride with love and heartbreak.
