While it is the same subject as "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" - they are different stories. I liked "The Giver of Stars" a little better. It seemed to have more substance. Interesting read.

✨️A joy to read - even as it gently tugs at your heartstrings. Jojo Moyes' 'The Giver of Stars' is a celebration of love, literacy, and the indomitable spirit of female friendship. Inspired by true events in Depression-era Kentucky, Moyes crafts a stirring adventure that shines a light on the transformative power of books and community. 

In this exciting story, women become horseback librarians and find freedom and friendship, facing not only the challenges of rough terrain but also the narrow-mindedness of Baileyville's inhabitants, to deliver books and encourage people to read. 

Moyes, renowned for 'Me Before You,' delivers a compelling narrative that pays homage to the resilience of these women and the enduring bond they share. It’s a rollicking story, one to get lost in. 👊✨️
