A gripping account of five extraordinary women librarians who delivered books to the remotest corners of the Kentucky highlands, from the author of Till I See You.USA. 1937. Alice marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve in hopes of escaping the stuffy atmosphere of her parents' home in England, but soon enough she realizes that she has changed one prison for another. That's why she gladly accepts a job at the Horse Library under Eleanor Roosevelt's program. Marjorie, who heads the library, is a self-sufficient woman who knows well the people and customs of the mountains, is used to deciding for herself what to do and how to act, without asking the opinion of men, and therefore often finds herself in difficult situations. She and Alice quickly find common language and become close friends. The novel "Giving Stars" is written on the basis of a real story. It has funny and tragic moments, betrayal and true love.
