A book where all loose ends are wrapped up in the final chapter? Amazing. I read this book quickly. The thought of Female librarians on horses sounds so appealing to me and like something I could see myself doing if I could choose another time to have lived.

We had an interesting discussion about The Giver of Stars. It was one that everyone quite enjoyed, but was also left wanting more. We like the overall story, like the characters, especially liked the camaraderie between the ladies, but at the same time felt that the book remained on kind of a surface level and that there was more that could have been done to really create an authentic depiction of the times. Maybe the entire thing was too “fiction”, while trying to be historic? We anticipate a great movie!!

I enjoyed the characters and it was a great seeing but dragged a bit at times.
