March April 2022 Book Choice

 The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes was our March/April book choice. 

Here is part of the Washington Post 2019 Book Review:

" An impulsive British woman, her band of librarians on horseback, a punishing winter in Southern Appalachia, moonshiners with itchy trigger fingers and the town’s coal tycoon just begging them to shoot: What could possibly go wrong?

Thus sets the stage for “The Giver of Stars,” by “Me Before You” author Jojo Moyes. Based on the true story of the Pack Horse Library initiative — a Works Progress Administration project that ran from 1935 to 1943 and turned women and their steeds into bookmobiles — Moyes’s characters travel into the remote Eastern Kentucky mountains to deliver learning to the most isolated residents."

This book had a lot of characters and some very interesting plot twists and turns. It made for a very enjoyable book discussion. Betsy hosted our dinner at her lovely home and we had a special guest too! 

So Happy to be together,
