Margaret asked this question about The Giver of Stars:
It appears to me that The Giver of Stars was published in Oct. 2019, and The Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek was published in May 2019, so I cannot see how plagiarism could be an issue, knowing personally how long it takes to get a book published, between rewrites, editing and more editing. This is just my opinion but plagiarism seems quite implausible to me, albeit these books are about the same program?
Lib (Enthusiastic reader, occasional reviewer) They share the same historical event - the Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky - so there is bound to be some similarities between the two stories.…moreThey share the same historical event - the Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky - so there is bound to be some similarities between the two stories. And as you say, with those publication dates, there is no way plagiarism is at play(less)
