Set in America in the 1930’s, Alice is a stranger in a foreign land when she moves across the world to be with her husband, who she believes is the love of her life, only to realise she doesn’t know him at all. She is lonely and so decides to volunteer to help start a travelling library to be run by women. This opens her to the friendship of four unlikely woman and follows their stories in a time when woman are starting to be more than just house wives.

I have to admit I was a bit unsure when I started reading this as I am not as massive fan of historical fiction, I can read it but I have to be in the right mood for it and I will be honest I hadn’t read the description when I requested the ARC, I just saw it was Jojo and said “yes please!!”
That being said I was quickly drawn in (as is usually the case with anything I read by Moyes) and I found myself enjoying the story line.

I enjoyed that although the story was fictional, the library initiative was real and helped so many people.
