I love that the author took a little piece of history that is not widely known – the Pack Horse Librarians– and made that part of the story. So did the book meet my expectations? Yes, it went above my expectation! Definitely well worth the read! Reviews were great and it was recommend quite a bit.
Going in I was expecting Richardson’s book to be good. The story line between the two books are not at all similar.
Both books are set in Kentucky and about the Pack Horse Librarians. I am not sure what all the fuss was about but facts are that Moyes book came out only five months after Richardson’s. Some claiming that there was ‘plagiarism’ going on.
My interest was also piqued by the controversy surrounding The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and Jojo Moyes’ book The Giver of Stars. I have never heard about the blue-skinned people of Kentucky nor Roosevelt’s Kentucky Pack Horse Library program and was intrigued! I was very keen on reading The Book Woman Of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson after reading the blurb on the back.
