Initially, I was skeptical of the way Valancy was treated by her family! It hardly seemed possible for a woman her age to be infantilized that way- but Valancy, spurred on by a grim diagnosis, finds the courage to free herself from her bondage and for the first time in her life she feels free…. While my frustration with Goodreads grows by the hour, one consistent advantage is that I still discover books I might not have otherwise. I was not aware that L.M Montgomery had written any adult novels until my Goodreads friend Antoinette wrote a review for this book. I added it instantly- though it has taken me a few years to finally get around to reading it. This is one of those books one wishes they had discovered earlier- but better late than never. This book is in the public domain- so you won’t have any trouble finding it. I highly recommend it. While there is a melancholy atmosphere attached to it for much of the story, it still has a kind of whimsical quality to it and of course some really nice surprises- and come on- you know the story will end on high note- so go forth- and enjoy an all around sweet, feel-good story for a change- you’ll be glad you did!

HTML: All her life, Valancy Stirling lived on a quiet little street in an ugly little house and never dared to contradict her domineering mother and her unforgiving aunt. At twenty-nine, she's never been in love, and her only consolation has been the forbidden books of John Foster and her daydreams of the Blue Castle. Then, one day, she gets a letter and decides that things need to change. For the first time in her life, she does exactly what she wants to and says exactly what she feels. At first, her family thinks she's gone around the bend, but soon, she discovers a surprising new world, full of love and adventures far beyond her most secret dreams. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
