About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The spellbinding story of love, friendship and the power of words to change the world by the international bestselling author of Me Before You
The greatest love story is the one you least expect . . .
Alice Wright doesn't love her new American husband.
Nor her domineering father-in-law or the judgmental townsfolk of Baileyville, Kentucky.
Stifled and misunderstood, she yearns for escape and finds it in defiant Margery O'Hare and the sisterhood bringing books to the isolated and vulnerable.
But when her father-in-law and the town turn against them, Alice fears the freedom, friendship and new love she's found will be lost . . .
Read by Audie-award winner Julie Whelan.
'Her best novel yet. Julian Whelan [is] the perfect reader' The Times
'Utterly enchanting' Mail on Sunday
'Epic' David Nicholls, bestselling author of One Day

Magnificent story with spellbinding narrator
You know you've thoroughly enjoyed an audio-book when you want to listen to it all over again straight away. Every moment of this audio-book is a joy. What a triumph of a story. So interesting and all the characters are fantastically portrayed in words and voice. I highly recommend it!

Thank you to the other reviewers!
Like another reviewer I don't like the sound of American fiction narrators but after reading other reviews I found myself totally agreeing - I really enjoyed the narrative and found the performance really engaging. Story weakened towards the end but it was still a lovely form of escapism, a beautiful setting and a wonderful group of Librarians.

Loved it!
If you loved Where the Crawdad’s sing, then you’ll really appreciate this beautiful book. It was a little slow starting off but stick with it because it’s so worth it.

Loved it.
I loved this book but especially loved the narrator of the audiobook. It was really entertaining and the story came alive as the characters had their own distinct voices and personalities. The story was an interesting insight into the lives of 5 women in the 1930’s, the challenges and attitudes they faced being a woman in a rural mountain city.

A Riveting Read
I've always loved Jojo Moyes' stories but in this one she has surpassed herself. Not only is it wonderfully romantic but it's based on actual events. Part of my enjoyment in reading is to learn something new. Now I am aware for the first time of the packhorse librarians of the depression era in Kentucky.
