Information:
England, late 1930s, and Alice Wright - restless, stifled - makes an impulsive decision to marry wealthy American Bennett Van Cleve and leave her home and family behind. But stuffy, disapproving Baileyville, Kentucky, where her husband favours work over his wife and is dominated by his overbearing father, is not the adventure - or the escape - that she hoped for. That is, until she meets Margery O'Hare, a troublesome woman - and daughter of a notorious felon - the town wishes to forget. Margery's on a mission to spread the wonder of books and reading to the poor and lost - and she needs Alice's help. Trekking alone under big open skies, through wild mountain forests, Alice, Margery and their fellow sisters of the trail discover freedom, friendship - and a life to call their own. But when the town turns against them, will their belief in one another - and the power of the written word - be enough to save them? Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Giver of Stars features five incredible women who will prove to be every bit as beloved as Lou Clark, the unforgettable heroine of Me Before You.

I de harde trettiåra i USA gifter engelske Alice Wright seg med den kjekke Bennett Van Cleve. Men livet hennes i Kentucky viser seg å være like kvelende som livet i England, spesielt med hennes overbærende stefar. Når det etterspørres en gruppe med kvinner til å levere bøker som del av Eleanor Roosevelts vandrende bibliotek melder Alice seg ivrig til tjeneste. Lederen av gruppen er Margery, en selvstendig kvinne som aldri har bedt en mann om tillatelse til noe som helst. Tre andre kvinner slutter seg til dem, og de blir kjent som Horseback Librarians of Kentucky. Dette er en bok om kjærlighet, lojalitet og vennskap mellom kvinner i utfordrende tider. Boken inngår i BS engelsk bestselgerabonnement. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.
