Reviews

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 . . .
*Stylist*

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
*Fabulous, Sun*

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

*i*

*Cosmopolitan*

With strong, memorable female characters and a sprinkling of men who can make a 'heart flutter like a clean sheet on a long line.' The Giver of Stars is a celebration of love, but also of reading, of knowledge, of female friendship . . . inspiring
*Washington Post*
