Jojo Moyes: Most of my books are inspired by a snippet of news or conversation, and this was no different. But the constants-as with all my books-are probably the fact that you will laugh and maybe cry, and hopefully feel a bit of female empowerment too." "I tried to capture some of the lovely lyricism of the way people speak in that part of Kentucky in my writing. "It’s very different in tone from, although possibly not dissimilar to my other historical novels," explains Moyes. Moyes says it's her favorite book she's written yet.
Set in small-town 1930s Kentucky, the novel centers on a group of women, known as the Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky, who deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt's traveling library-defying their husbands along the way. Moyes' latest, The Giver of Stars, is set to receive the same treatment almost a decade later (exact release date TBD (opens in new tab)). If you weren't sobbing the entire time, did you even read Jojo Moyes' Me Before You (opens in new tab) (2012)? The first installment of the best-selling author's trilogy was adapted into a movie starring Emilia Clarke.
