This was a beautiful book full of fierce female friendships and the touch librarians have in our life. And it was sad and hopeful, historical and mysterious, all wrapped in

This is the first audiobook I’ve ever given 5 stars, and now all that come after have such a high standard. This story was told like an epic and was incredibly engrossing. In my opinion, Jojo Moyes is one of the best authors of current times. She writes the most believable characters and develops them so well that nothing seems forced or set up. I am so pleasantly surprised with my listening experience.

Kentucky. This book has everything - libraries, badass women, courtroom drama, mountain scenery, Depression-era tragedy, descriptions of new life & of death. I enjoyed the prose and the quick-moving plot. It was a fast, fun read.

I really loved this book. Beautifully written with great characters and a story that kept you wanting to read the next chapter. As a woman, it was particularly moving to read from the perspective of 5 women who endure despite the misogynistic and sexist society that was the 1930s in America.
