About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The spellbinding story of love, friendship and the power of words to change the world by the international bestselling 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 judgmental 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 new love she's found will be lost . . .

Read by Audie-award winner Julie Whelan.

Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable story about the Packhorse Library project in Kentucky during the depression. Julia Whelan’s narration is, as always, fantastic. Highly recommend.

The narrator was amazingly skilful at different accents and genders in this beautiful story. I found the first couple of chapters a little slow then the story found it’s rhythm and I did not want it to end.

I really enjoyed this novel. I always love Jo Jo Moyes characters and this is no exception. This book paints a picture of the life for women, people of colour and the oppression they experienced in the 1930-1940’s. In typical Moyes style there is a sprinkle of good winning out over evil - thank you! Lovely read

I loved this book so much and I've recommended it all over the place!
I adored the characters, the history, the humour and the sadness.
I couldn't wait to check in with the ladies each day but as I got closer and closer towards the end I didn't want to say goodbye.
I wanted more!
Such a warm story and I loved each of the main characters like close friends.
