Federation Book Club Reads The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
www.ourcommunitynewsletter.org
“The Giver of Stars” is a poem by Amy Lowell, while the novel’s same title is used symbolically for obliquely expressing one’s love. Likened to the splendor yet short-lived excitement of fireflies, the title can also imply the infinite enlightenment of books being like stars. This novel is mainly about the lives of several women who became “Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky” during the Great Depression. These women, a composite of lives truly lived, demonstrated immense courage while navigating impossible weather, family feuds, and rugged, uncharted rural paths in order to deliver books with the goal of decreasing illiteracy in Appalachia.
