THE GIVER OF STARS
Book ID/图书代码： 03540019C00037
English Summary/英文概要： Alice 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Alice Wright嫁给了英俊的美国人Bennett Van Cleve，希望能逃离她在英国令人窒息的生活。但肯塔基州小镇很快也证明了同样的幽闭恐惧症，尤其是和她专横的岳父住在一起。因此，当有人呼吁女性参加Eleanor Roosevelt新的旅游图书馆时，Alice自告奋勇地签上了她的名字。
组织发起人同时也很快成为了Alice最大的盟友，Margery，她是个一个聪明，自给自足的女人，从来没有因男性要求而做任何事情。另外三位被称为肯塔基州Packhorse图书管理员的女性也将加入她们的队伍。
她们和她们所爱的人身上发生的一切，成为忠诚、正义、人性和激情的一出难忘的戏。这些英勇的妇女拒绝被男人或习俗吓倒。尽管她们面对着各种各样的挑战，有时美好有时残酷，她们都一心致力于自己的工作：把书带给从未拥有过书的人，用能改变他们生活的事实武装他们。
根据一个植根于美国历史的真实故事，《传播星星的人》在其广度和史诗性方面都是无与伦比的。有趣，令人揪心又引人入胜，它注定会成为一部现代经典——一部关于女性友谊，真爱，以及当我们超越自己的能力，去追求更伟大的未来时得到回报的小说。（YYW）
