The Giver of Stars

內容簡介

內容簡介 「一個關於個人力量的偉大敘事，真切捕捉了書籍如何將社區凝聚在一起。」— 瑞絲 薇斯朋 (Reese Witherspoon)來自即將出版的《穿上別人的鞋》作者，一個令人屏息的故事，講述了在美國大蕭條時期，五位非凡女性穿越肯塔基山脈及更遠地區的卓越旅程。愛麗絲 萊特嫁給英俊的美國人班奈特 范 克里夫，希望能逃離她在英國壓抑的生活。然而，肯塔基州這個小鎮很快也讓她感到同樣的幽閉恐懼，特別是與她那專橫的公公共處。因此，當羅斯福總統夫人新設立的流動圖書館招募女性團隊來遞送書籍時，愛麗絲興奮地報名參加。團隊的領導者，同時也迅速成為愛麗絲最大盟友的，是瑪格麗——一個能言善道、自給自足的女性，她從未向任何男人請求許可。另外三位獨特的女性也加入了她們，這群人被稱為「肯塔基的馱馬圖書管理員」。發生在她們身上，以及她們所愛的男人身上的故事，成為一齣關於忠誠、正義、人性與熱情的難忘戲劇。這些英勇的女性拒絕被男人或傳統所嚇倒。儘管她們在時而美得令人屏息、時而殘酷的風景中面臨各種危險，但她們仍堅守著自己的工作：將書籍帶給那些從未擁有過書的人，用能改變他們人生的事實來武裝他們。《星星的贈與者》以美國歷史中一個真實故事為基礎，其視野無與倫比，敘事史詩般宏大。它幽默、令人心碎、引人入勝，註定成為一部現代經典——一部關於女性友誼、真愛，以及當我們超越自己的能力所及去追尋更偉大的事物時，會發生什麼的豐富小說。#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK “A great narrative about personal strength and really captures how books bring communities together.” —Reese Witherspoon From the author of the forthcoming Someone Else’s Shoes, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond in Depression-era AmericaAlice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve, hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically.The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. What happens to them--and to the men they love--becomes an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity, and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by men or by convention. And though they face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly beautiful, at others brutal, they’re committed to their job: bringing books to people who have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives.Based on a true story rooted in America’s past, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope and epic in its storytelling. Funny, heartbreaking, enthralling, it is destined to become a modern classic--a richly rewarding novel of women’s friendship, of true love, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond.
