Summary
Brought to you by Penguin - the spellbinding story of love, friendship and the power of words to change the world by the international best-selling 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 judgemental 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 the new love she’s found will be lost....
Read by Audie-award winner Julia Whelan.

excellent audio book!
Excellent story and the narration was stunning. I strongly recommend this book. I am now a bit of a Jojo Moyes fan.

It’s a fabulous boob but it took me four times to get into I started it, disliked it and put it down
When I got beyond a couple of chapters eventually I was spellbound
and loved it

Great book
Really enjoyed this book as I have all jo jo moyles stories I’ve read. She seems to have a knack of writing stories with not much content, but drawing you in!
All I’ve read have kept me totally entertained and this one was no different. Really enjoyed it!
Thank you again!!

I truly didn’t want this story to end. Fascinating characters, engaging storyline, narrator’s interpretation of the characters was flawless.

Mildly interesting
Didn't hold my attention. I read it only at drive-to-work time. otherwise wouldn't finish it. Narration was very good though.
