The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes

Britt's take

Immersive, affirming, and emotionally satisfying without asking too much of you. Five women delivering books by horseback through Depression-era Kentucky, building something for each other in a world that keeps trying to limit them. It starts slow, but by the halfway point you'll be fully in. Every woman is distinct, every relationship is carefully drawn, and the emotional payoff earns every page it took to get there.
