From the Publisher:

Prepare to be swept away by a powerful story of love, loss, and resilience in this poignant debut from Jojo Moyes, the New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You and The Giver of Stars.

England, 1946. Bunny Williams has returned to her family's estate in the remote countryside, trying to come to terms with the trauma of war. When she stumbles upon a mysterious letter, she finds herself drawn into an intriguing mystery – one that will take her on a journey into the past and challenge everything she thought she knew about her family, her home, and even herself.

As Bunny pieces together the clues, she discovers the story of three young women during the Blitz who find their lives intertwined in ways they never expected. Edie, the rebellious daughter of a wealthy factory owner; Vera, a young widow trying to piece her life back together; and Frances, a shy Catholic girl who works as a secretary – their paths cross in the mayhem of wartime London, where each woman must grapple with love, loss, and the choices that will shape the rest of their lives.

With richly drawn characters and immersive historical detail, The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes explores the power of community, the importance of female friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of profound adversity. This sweeping, poignant novel is a love letter to reading and libraries, and a testament to the transformative power of storytelling.
