Somewhere between Green Gables and Avonlea there is a Blue Castle.... Lucy Maud Montgomery, internationally best-selling Canadian author, wrote about girls who escaped into the wild when the world stopped making sense. Her girl-protagonists straddle the line between 'civilized' towns of the 1900s, and the mystic wilds of magical girls, young psychics, and natural witches. 29-year-old Valancy Stirling had always been out of step. Elfin and something of a changeling as 1920s ladies go, she's suddenly faced with harsh reality when she's diagnosed with a fatal illness of the heart. Bullied by her well-heeled, stuffy, and judgmental family, Valancy has grown up without love. Now she's forced to realize she will likely die before she's ever lived! The distant dream of having a home and loving family of her own-her Blue Castle-will wither unless she takes drastic action. And once Valancy knows she has nothing to lose? Everything changes. Full of humor and transformation, this relatable story of a young woman pushing the limits of her repressive family and social order belongs on the shelves of lovers of Classics like Jane Eyre, and Emma. But it should also be within arm's reach of modern book and film fans, those who loved Crazy Rich Asians, and Harry Potter. It belongs anywhere where readers savor just desserts, and delight in how the tables turn. 'The Blue Castle' is a fairy-tale upheaval of the status quo, where underdogs can rise, and the cruel get what they deserve. With a fresh Foreword by Grenfell Campus' Dr. E. Holly Pike, Associate Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, aimed at the value of the wild and being different to L.M. Montgomery's heroines! Calling all readers who love A Secret Garden, Emma, and Y.A. books like Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty! Get it today!

Maria Nastasia a dat nota:

Montgomery wrote many angry and disillusioned characters, but in my opinion Leslie Moore is the most nuanced character in the entire series - and that includes Anne. It's also the most romantic book in the series- there's not only the sweet newlywed relationship between Anne and Gilbert, but also Captain Jim and Lost Margaret, Leslie and Owen. And the setting is romance personified - an out of the way cottage, a wild seashore, a lighthouse still manually operated by its keeper. This is not the close-knit village of Avonlea, or the large, rambling, center of town Ingleside manor where Anne and Gilbert will raise their family. In those books, the greater community plays a large role in Anne's life. "Anne's House of Dreams" is more self-contained, centering on a smaller cast of characters: Anne, Gilbert and their immediate neighbors Miss Cornelia, Leslie and Captain Jim.

Notă biografică

Lucy Maud Montgomery OBE (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.[1] The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site - namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935. Montgomery's work, diaries and letters have been read and studied by scholars and readers worldwide
