HER BEST NOVEL YET
*The Times*
Inspiring and wildly romantic
*Daily Mail Books of the Year*
An entertaining, immersive and moving read. The Giver of Stars is
rip-roaring popular fiction . . . but it is also a novel that
celebrates education, intellectual curiosity and, above all, books
and the knowledge, comfort, company and power that they can bring.
Moyes shines a light on a historic footnote to pay tribute to
women's work, endurance and female solidarity
*The Sunday Times*
For years I've been a huge Jojo Moyes fan. It's such a great
narrative about personal strength and really captures how books
bring communities together, especially for these women who are
completely bonded by their love of literature
*Reese Witherspoon*
A genuinely entertaining book that's a perfect gift for people who
need some escape from the everyday and just want to be absorbed in
a really cracking story. Set in rural America in the 1930s, it's
got a band of feisty characters who are funny and sweet with
contemporary resonances to boot
*The best books to give this Christmas, Stylist*
With characters so real they feel like dear friends and a
compelling storyline, this is a beautiful, special novel. I loved
it and didn't want it to end!
*Liane Moriarty*
What a wonderful novel. The Giver of Stars is the most sweeping,
dramatic, richly evocative book, full of brilliantly feisty women.
I whipped through the pages, utterly agog, pretty much feeling as
though I was on a horse in 1930s Kentucky myself
*Sophie Kinsella*
Epic
*David Nicholls, bestselling author of One Day*
Timeless, Jojo Moyes' greatest work yet, and one of the most
exquisitely-written - and absolutely compulsory - novels about
women ever told. Brilliant and perfect and will remind you of why
you read; even of why you breathe
*Lisa Taddeo, bestselling author of Three Women*
Purest joy - even as it cheerfully breaks your heart. A go-get-em
adventure about E Roosevelt's horseback librarians, it celebrates
female friendship and the power of books
*Damian Barr*
Both a love letter to reading and a hymn to female friendship, this
is a tale packed full of romance, tension, and brilliantly drawn
characters. Pure pleasure
*Sunday Mirror*
Utterly enchanting
*Mail on Sunday*
I loved this dashing adventure set in 1930s Kentucky, America.
Intensely moving and crammed with romance and emotion, this is a
full-pack-of-tissues novel.
*Sun*
Based on a true story of the real Horseback Librarians of Kentucky
this was a truly joyous and divine read. The rich, determined,
extraordinary characters consumed me. The history, the setting;
everything about this glorious book is superb
*Nina Potell, Prima*
Dipped into this on Saturday and then simply couldn't put it down.
Superb characters, great story and sense of place. For me, her best
yet. And I wept buckets over Me Before You!
*Fanny Blake*
Touching on the still-burning issues of control, violence, poverty
and racism, Moyes has created a rollicking story that's perfect for
long autumn nights. Enjoy . . .

Misfit women rule in a beguiling tale of unlikely love. Moyes
writes with warmth and intelligence . . . the most appealing thing
about The Giver of Stars, however, is her wonderful way with
romance. Delightful
*The Times*
This blisteringly good novel is one to add to your basket quick
smart

Her best yet
*Bookseller*
Jojo's characterisation is so vivid, and the insight into the
gender and race discrimination of the 1930s is truly eye
opening
*Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go*
Her best book yet. It's a romance - but about female friends, the
outdoors and the magic of reading
*Grazia*
Moyes' best yet . . . A stonker of a read. Laced with humour and
heartache, it's addictive
*Sunday Post*
While her novel is set in the midst of the Great Depression, Moyes
crafts a tale that's remarkably contemporary. Moyes depicts the
courage and resourcefulness of these women in loving detail. A
tribute not just to the brave women who brought the light of
knowledge in dark times, but also to the rejuvenating bond of
women's friendship.
*Daily Mail*
It's an extraordinary story. This is the best thing she has written
since Me Before You. Moyes writes with gusto and compassion
