Title: Complete plagiarism
Review: I read this book when I was about 18 and enjoyed it.Then I read the Blue Castle, recognized instantly that this was patent plagiarism, and have since written McCullough off as a hack.What kind of an author lifts a plot--not just the rough idea, but the complete, whole plot right down to the characterization? The heroines of both books even detest oatmeal, but are forced to eat it! Nearly every detail of the Ladies mirrors the story in Blue Castle. The Blue Castle is much better, and L.M. Montgomery deserves all the credit for the story.
