DON'T MISS THE STANDALONE NEW NOVEL FROM JOJO MOYES, THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ME BEFORE YOU, AFTER YOU AND STILL ME 'Alice had come halfway across the world to find that, yet again, she was considered wanting. Well, she thought, if that was what everyone thought, she might as well live up to it.' England, late 1930s, and Alice Wright - restless, stifled - makes an impulsive decision to marry wealthy American Bennett Van Cleve and leave her home and family behind. But stuffy, disapproving Baileyville, Kentucky, where her husband favours work over his wife and is dominated by his overbearing father, is not the adventure - or the escape - that she hoped for. That is, until she meets Margery O'Hare, a troublesome woman - and daughter of a notorious felon - the town wishes to forget. Margery's on a mission to spread the wonder of books and reading to the poor and lost - and she needs Alice's help. Trekking alone under big open skies, through wild mountain forests, Alice, Margery and their fellow sisters of the trail discover freedom, friendship - and a life to call their own. But when Baileyville turns against them, will their belief in one another - and the power of the written word - be enough to save them? Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Giver of Stars features five incredible women who will prove to be every bit as beloved as Lou Clark, the unforgettable heroine of Me Before You.

FRIENDSHIP FREED HER. BUT WILL IT SAVE HER? In 1937, dusty Baileyville, Kentucky is no place for a woman. For newly-arrived English rose Alice Wright, whose father-in-law has the town sown up, the atmosphere is stifling and she is desperate to escape. Which leads her to Margery O'Hare and her small band of horsewomen taking books and learning to isolated homesteads. Who else will rescue the vulnerable from poverty and ignorance? But this brazen act of female defiance - of emancipation - cannot go unpunished, especially by Baileyville's men. Alice and Margery and the other horseback librarians must find the courage to stand together. Can they show this divided town the value of love, friendship and community?

Alice ?Wright számára a fullasztó angliai létből való menekülést jelenti házassága a jóvágású, amerikai Bennett van Cleve-vel. Ám az 1930-as évek kisvárosi Kentuckyjának légköre legalább annyira nyomasztja Alice-t, mint korábbi élete – főleg a mindennapjaira rátelepedő apósa társasága. Nem csoda, hogy a meg nem értett és elnyomott Alice örömmel kap a lehetőségen, amikor az elnök felesége, Eleanor Roosevelt női önkénteseket keres az általa alapított könyvtári mozgalomba.   A csapat vezetője és Alice legközelebbi bizalmasa a rendíthetetlen és szabad szellemű Margery O'Hare lesz, akinek egyetlen férfi sem mondhatja meg, mit csináljon. A kisváros öt mozgókönyvtárosának számtalan előítélettel és akadállyal kell megküzdenie, miközben úttalan utakon próbálják eljuttatni a tudás fényét és egy új világ ígéretét azoknak, akik talán sohasem foghattak eddig könyvet a kezükbe. Az ő személyes történeteiken, tragédiáikon és diadalaikon keresztül ismerhetjük meg az olvasás és a közösség igazi erejét.  Jojo Moyes, napjaink egyik legelismertebb írónőjének igaz történeten alapuló új műve az elmúlt évek egyik legnagyobb könyvsikere, magával ragadó, megható és lélekmelengető olvasmány.    „Csodálatos és különleges könyv, amelynek szereplőit olyannyira valóságosnak érezzük, mintha közeli barátaink lennének. Egész egyszerűen nem akartam, hogy véget érjen.” – Liane Moriarty „Évek óta óriási Jojo Moyes-rajongó vagyok. Az Áradó fény elképesztően nagyszerű történet öt állhatatos nőről, és megkapóan ábrázolja a könyvek közösségteremtő erejét és az irodalom szeretete által teremtett eltéphetetlen kötelékeket.” – Reese Witherspoon

Lou Clark knows too many things . . . She knows how many miles lie between her new home in New York and her new boyfriend Sam in London. She knows her employer is a good man and she knows his wife is keeping a secret from him. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to meet someone who's going to turn her whole life upside down. Because Josh will remind her so much of a man she used to know that it'll hurt. Lou won't know what to do next, but she knows that whatever she chooses is going to change everything.

A trilógia világszerte milliók által várt újabb kötetében tovább folytatódik a hatalmas sikert aratott Mielőtt megismertelek című regényben bemutatott Lou Clark története. Lou sok mindent tud. Pontosan tudja például, hogy milyen nagy a távolság új New York-i otthona és londoni barátja, Sam lakása között. Azt is tudja, hogy a főnöke jó ember, ahogy azt is, hogy a felesége eltitkol valamit a férfi elől. Azt viszont nem tudhatja, hogy miközben beleveti magát New York társasági életébe, hamarosan megismerkedik valakivel, aki jókora felfordulást okoz a lelkében. Merthogy Josh elképesztő módon emlékezteti valakire, akire rendkívül fájdalmas visszaemlékeznie. Azt sem tudja Lou, hogy mihez kezdjen a kialakult helyzetben - csupán azt tudja, hogy bármilyen döntés hoz, az mindent visszavonhatatlanul megváltoztat az életében. És hogy mindenképp követnie kell a szíve szavát, akárhová is vezesse.

Sydneyből is több száz ifjú asszony tart Angliába a Victoria fedélzetén. A hajó nem pompás óceánjáró, hanem sok viszontagságot látott repülőgép-hordozó, melyen egész seregnyi tengerész és tiszt szolgál, illetve utazik, szigorúan elkülönítve a női részlegtől. A négy főszereplő - Frances, a zárkózott ápolónő, a gazdag családból való, elkényeztetett Avice, a komolytalan, alig tizenöt éves Jean és az őszinte, nyílt természetű Margaret - egy kabinba kerül, s a hathetes utazás alatt sok mindent megtudnak egymásról és önmagukról. Sorra kiderül, hogy mindenkinek van valamilyen féltett titka, és a múlt bonyodalmait csak még terhesebbé teszik a jelen váratlan fordulatai, melyek akár egészen új irányba terelhetik a lányok életét. Hogy az átélt örömök, félelmek és megpróbáltatások után végül mindenkinek jól alakul-e a sorsa, az csak sok év elteltével derül ki...
