Description
Browbeaten by stern family members, Valancy Stirling finds consolation in her imaginary Blue Castle, a place where she feels she can be her real self and where all her wishes come true. After a life changing diagnosis, she rebels against her relations, leading her to discover love and adventure that she never thought possible.
Published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s birth on 30 November 2024, The Blue Castle is set in Muskoka, Ontario and is the only Montgomery novel set outside of Prince Edward Island.
About the author
Lucy Maud (L. M.) Montgomery, one of Canada's best-known authors, was born in Prince Edward Island in 1874. Her career spanned fifty years and included twenty-one novels, over five hundred stories, over five hundred poems, many essays and articles, as well as volumes of journals and letters. But it is her first novel, Anne of Green Gables (1908), that is her best-loved work, not only in Canada but all over the world.
