Más información sobre el libro

Set against the backdrop of Depression-era America, the narrative follows Alice Wright, who escapes her restrictive life in England by marrying Bennett Van Cleve. However, she soon finds herself in a similarly confining small-town Kentucky. Seeking freedom, Alice joins a team of women delivering books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt's traveling library. Led by the independent Margery, they become the Horseback Librarians of Kentucky, facing dangers while fostering friendship, love, and the transformative power of literacy. This poignant tale is inspired by true events.
