The new standalone novel from Jojo Moyes, The Giver of Stars, will be released in October 2019.

Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Giver of Stars features five incredible women who will prove to be every bit as beloved as Lou Clark, the unforgettable heroine of Me Before You.

‘A love letter to the power of books and literature and their ability to bring us together, to educate, to inform and enlighten, to guide us, to deliver the truth, to save us from ourselves, The Giver of Stars is the book that Jojo Moyes was born to write,’ Maxine Hitchcock, Michael Joseph publishing director, says.

Moyes said of the novel: ‘I can honestly say I have never loved writing a book more, or been more inspired by my subject matter. I really hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I have.’

The author’s latest novel, Still Me (Penguin), recently sold the highest single-week volume for any title so far in 2019 and the biggest for a Mass Market Fiction title since Dan Brown’s Origin (Corgi) in July 2018.

Jojo Moyes is a novelist and journalist. Her books include the bestsellers The Girl You Left Behind, The One Plus One, Me Before You, After You and Still Me and her short story collection Paris for One and Other Stories.
