I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children,  previously being an avid reader. I loved this book and learnt a lot about the women who were the travelling library in the depression in Kentuky. A great read, which is full of interesting characters who you invest in. Fab stuff

I've absolutely lovely listening to this book on Audiobook. What a heart warming story of the struggles of life in a poorer time.

The love of friendship and relationships, how people react differently to various of lifes obstacles. I saw myself in a couple of the characters and I absolutely loved it.

Would recommend this book to anyone.

I loved this book. It was good the entire time, but the last bit sucked me in and filled my soul. There were tears and laughs and the feeling of being intimately understood.
