Well, this book inspired me to read The Grapes of Wrath (after I finished my current book). There are so many prescient quotes. The interwoven storylines came together in a somewhat unexpected way. Bittersweet.

I found this story interesting. It had me a bit confused at times as it was kind of hard to keep the three main characters separated. All three are female and seem all about books and the library. The boxcar library. But still overall it was a good book. Kept me reading.

Um, “fine”?
Pretty sure there is a difference between “never been exposed to” and never questioned.
This book was SO GOOD! I love reading a historical fiction book that makes me fall down a rabbit hole of needing to find out more. And nobody writes a multiple POV plot quite like Brianna Labuskes, in my opinion. We‘re introduced to Millie, Alice and Colette and how these brave, complicated women impacted not just their community BUT the whole state of Montana!
I loved the blurb and construction of a split timeline style- this just felt far, far too long.
The world is still a roaring dumpster fire, but for the next 45 minutes, I‘m going to unwind in the sunshine with a great book and a summery drink ☀️🍋🟩📖
“Inspired by true events, a thrilling Depression-era novel from the author of The Librarian of Burned Books about a woman‘s quest to uncover a mystery surrounding a local librarian and the Boxcar Library—a converted mining train that brought books to isolated rural towns in Montana.”
