ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
In Jojo Moyes's "The Giver of Stars," Alice Van Cleve, a young Englishwoman, finds herself in rural Kentucky after marrying an American. Feeling suffocated by her new life, she joins a group of remarkable women who deliver books to remote mountain communities as part of the Packhorse Library project. Led by the independent and enigmatic Margery O'Hare, these women face challenges from treacherous terrain and social prejudices, all while bringing knowledge and hope to those they serve. As they navigate these hardships, they form a strong bond of sisterhood, challenging societal norms and finding strength in their shared purpose. However, their mission is threatened when Margery is accused of a crime, forcing the community to confront their own biases and uncover the truth.
