Honestly, when I started reading THE GIVER OF STARS, I wondered how this British author was going to pull it off.
Moyes’ book is richest in characterization. Richardson’s book is richest in local detail, Ms. Moyes’ book spotlights the sexual discrimination all women in Kentucky faced. Richardson’s book spotlights the racial discrimination the blue-skinned mountain folk suffer, Ms. Richardson’s book centers on one librarian, Ms. Richardson’s book freely use the word “plagiarism.”
Oh yes, it’s an unusual subject, and while Ms. Much has been made of the similarity between this book, THE GIVER OF STARS, by Jojo Moyes, and THE BOOK WOMAN OF TROUBLESOME CREEK, by Kim Michele Richardson, which came out just five months before this one.īoth books take place in Kentucky and deal with the Pack Horse Library Project, which was inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt and tasked with bringing books to remote areas of Appalachia between the years of 19.
