Description
About the Book
1936. In the midst of the Great Depression, in the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky, nineteen-year-old Cussy Mary Carter, nicknamed Damsel and with a rare peculiarity in her skin, is one of the traveling booksellers of the Equestrian Library Project sponsored by Roosevelt as part of his "New Deal". Motherless, spirited and stubborn, Damisela has to brave harsh weather, rugged terrain, hostile characters and all manner of dangers on her daily route to deliver books and other reading materials to the most vulnerable. This is an exciting story that shows the determination of a brave young woman to bring a glimmer of hope to her neighbors and the magical spell of literature.About the Author
KIM MICHELE RICHARDSON nació en Kentucky y es la autora, entre otros, del aclamado best seller 'The Unbreakable Child', además de ejercer la crítica literaria en el New York Journal of Books. 'La librera de Kentucky' es su cuarta novela, y con ella ha logrado el aprecio unánime de críticos y lectores de todo el mundo, tras ser recomendada por Dolly Parton y obtener entre otros galardones el 2020 PBS Readers Choice y el Forbes a la Mejor Novela Histórica. Fue inspirada por la 'gente azul' de Kentucky y las valientes bibliotecarias ecuestres que usaron el poder de la alfabetización para superar la intolerancia y el miedo durante la Gran Depresión. La novela se enseña en las escuelas secundarias y las aulas universitarias y ha sido adoptada como lectura por estados, ciudades y universidades de Estados Unidos y otros países. Su última novela, 'The Book Woman`s Daughter', se ha convertido en un best seller instantáneo en las listas del New York Times y USA TODAY.Dimensions (Overall): 7.4 Inches (H) x 4.88 Inches (W) x 1.02 Inches (D)
