Iako je predvidljiva, i na momente predirektna, ova je zaista zabavna knjiga. Nakon dva dana citanja muz me pitao da kaj ja to citam da se vec dva dana tako smijem. A vec se jako jako dugo nisam na glas smijala dok sam citala. Tako da eto, ako vam treba malo smijeha i opustanja, ovo je knjiga za vas :)
Moyes certainly knows how to write. This book was smart, brave and captivating. Settled in the mountains of Kentucky in 1930s, it follows the path of five women working as the travelling librarians. Not only it will show you the beauty of untouched nature of that part of The States, but will also take you on a trip to the times when womens rights were scarce, when it took some guts to speak their mind and live the way they wanted. Its a great story about female friendship,about fighting for what is right and about the value of books.
It took me time to finish it, but I dont regret reading it slowly because that way I really had the time to connect with all of the characters, each set in their own ways but blending perfectly. A big reccomendation from me - as always, Jojo didn't dissapoint ❤

I am not a huge fan of short stories collections, mostly because I cannot switch characters and setttings that fast and usually just when I start getting in the story, it seems to end. Nonethelss, I was really interested in this particular collection because it was Reese's BC pick for August 2020 and I do tend to like most of her book picks.
And I have to admit I am not sorry I decided to give it a try. With eight stories in total, I did like most of them. They were little fragments of lives of women from Haiti and Caribbean, exploring their relations with their family, friends and lovers, but also telling the story about their roots, their homeland and their diasporic lives. Only the last story was written from a pov of a man, and even though it was so sad and served as a perfect ending to the collection, I did find it a bit not synced with the rest of them.
Big thanx to the NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an ARC of this book in exchange of my honest opinion.
