Darca hviezd – Moyesová Jojo (2020)

Englishwoman Alica is bored in her parents' house, feeling unappreciated and misunderstood. Then she meets Bennett Van Cleve, a handsome, wealthy American, and falls head over heels in love. Marriage and moving to America in the 1930s seem like a grand adventure, but life as a newlywed in Baileyville, a stifling provincial town in the midst of the Kentucky mountains, is disappointing for Alica. Therefore, before her husband can forbid it, she volunteers for a horse library project. A group of young women, led by the rebellious Margery O'Hara, rides through deep forests to deliver books and magazines to the poor who would otherwise not have access to them. Alica finds freedom, friendship, and a fulfilling life that she longed for. However, not everyone approves. Alica's father-in-law literally wages war against her, and Baileyville sides with him. Will the girls' deep bond and belief in the power of the written word be enough in their unequal struggle? The Star Giver is a fascinating tale of female friendship, love, and the miracle of books and reading, inspired by a true story.
