The greatest love story is the one you least expect . . . Alice is stifled, bored, and misunderstood. So when she meets wealthy and handsome American, Bennett Van Cleve, she is quickly swept off her feet. Marrying him and moving to America seems like a great adventure - but life as a newlywed in stuffy Baileyville, Kentucky, is not at all what she hoped for. Until, that is, she responds to a call for volunteers to start a travelling library, surprising herself by saying yes, before her husband can say no . . . Led by feisty and rebellious Margery O'Hare, this unlikely group of women travel far and wide on their mission to bring books and reading to those that need it, and Alice finally finds the freedom, friendship and love that she's been looking for. But not everyone approves of what they are doing, especially her new father-in-law. And when the town turns against them, will their belief in each other and their work be enough? The Giver of Stars is a mesmerising tale of female friendship, romance, and the wonder of books and reading, inspired by a remarkable true story.

After this second pre-wedding panic attack, Harri is at sea. Her parents try to distract her, but it's obvious they know more than they want to admit about why she's always been a little fragile. What they are forced to reveal turns Harri's world upside-down. It seems that not only has she lost James but everything else she thought she could dependen on too. As the truth of her past comes out, and the world she thought she knew crumbles around her, Harri struggles to pick up the pieces. Can she find herself again and, if she does, will it be too late for love?
