       2024., Adult, Alfred A. Knopf Canada Call No: NEW Fic Fle    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Curiosity begins when a present-day historian discovers a cache of five seventeenth-century manuscripts that each, astonishingly, tells the same strange story from vastly different points of view. The five manuscripts (which become the five parts of the novel) spin this tale: after the plague descends upon a village in England, two children, Joan and Thomasina, are the only survivors. They bond tightly with each other and with a mute woman living in a field nearby, who discovers and cares for them. When people return, the woman, as the lone adult alive, is accused of witchcraft, and the children are separated. Joan becomes a maid in the local manor house, and eventually, through her intelligence and skill, companion to the fascinating Lady Margaret Long. Thomasina, taken on a voyage to Virginia, decides to adopt boy's clothing and navigate life as a man named Tom. Tom and Joan find each other again as adults and fall in love, but are discovered together, naked, by young clergyman John Heard. Shocked and horrified, he believes in only one explanation for Tom's state: Joan must be a witch. Tom, trying to save both himself and Joan, runs as far away as he can, taking a position aboard an expedition through the Northwest Passage. The modern historian pieces together the interlocking stories of all five manuscripts and adds her own layer of "truth" to a history and time period where labels for who Tom and Joan might truly be, didn't yet exist. .

After marrying into the Bellmont family, Nathaniel, a former concert pianist who is nearly ruined by his wife's unrelenting ambition and unstable mind, finds hope in the promise of his most recent protégé. His brother-in-law, artistic Whitmore Bellmont, and the maid's daughter, Jeselle, have a secret relationship despite their drastically different circumstances and shades of skin. Unfortunately, most of the world disagrees with their color blindness. All four lives intertwine on a collision course, threatening to destroy, or liberate, them all.

       2019., Viking, an imprint of Penguin Random House LLC Call No: Fic Moy    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Set in Depression-era America, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond, from the author of Me Before You and The Peacock Emporium. 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 Horseback Librarians of Kentucky. What happens to them--and to the men they love--becomes a classic drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. Though they face all kinds of dangers, they're committed to their job--bringing books to people who have never had any, sharing the gift of learning that will change their lives. Based on a true story rooted in America's past, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope. At times funny, at others heartbreaking, this is 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"--
