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, judgmental family, Valancy has grown up without any 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 in L.M. Montgomery's heroines!

29 and unmarried, gasp! - can you think of anything worse? In 1920s rural Canada, Valancy Stirling is considered "past it" and with a controlling, nagging mother and petty gossips for relatives she feels trapped in the life she has ended up in and when she is diagnosed with a terminal heart condition and given a year to live, it seems she will die without ever experiencing happiness. And so, she rebels. She leaves her family home slamming the door as she does and moves in with her old friend Cissy and starts working as a housekeeper. The independence is intoxicating - as is a growing friendship with local man, Barney Snaith. It looks as though Valancy will have love to warm her heart in her final months. But secrets on both sides threaten to ruin things. The intoxicating story of love and loss is perfect for fans of Elizabeth Gaskell and Jodie Picoult. Lucy Maud (L.M.)
