The Giver of Stars - Jojo Moyes

In 1937 a young Englishwoman Alice marries a wealthy handsome American Bennett, and goes to live with him in rural Kentucky.  The marriage is not what she expects, and in order to fill in her time, she takes a job with the rural packhorse library service.   Joining a remarkable group of women, she travels the country trails and roads  distributing books and magazines to women and children, many of whom have little contact with outsiders and little to no education.

I was just waiting for a touch of magic from this book, and I was a bit umoved and even bored by it.  I am sure it will make a great ensemble movie, I can picture it easily easily being adapted.  3/5
