If you think your relatives argue too much over Sunday dinner or are just impossible to live with try Valancy Stirling's family. Written in 1926 by the author of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series, this is the story of Valancy, a 29 year old timid mouse of a person, considered an old maid by her family and the town generally. She does what everyone asks even when she hates it, quails before her insolent relatives, never talks back (except in her own mind), cries herself to sleep on aOh, this darling, darling book! Its the ultimate comfort read. This is the first book that I have read by L.M. Montgomery. Valancy Stirling wakes up on her 29th birthday realizing that she has never been happy or lived much at all. I loved her spirit and was rooting for her throughout. What awful relatives she had, although they had me laughing with all their weird and quirky ways. The story takes place in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada. Montgomery describes it beautifully. Valancys
It was quite nice to be back into the lovely and whimsical storytelling of Lucy Maud Montgomery. After reading most of her Anne of Green Gables series, and enjoying them, I was excited to read something new by her! :-) The Blue Castle told the intriguing tale of a twenty-nine year old woman living with her strict, bleak, colorless mother and cousin. She has no marriage prospects. Her family disdains her. Shes dying. And yet shes never even really lived. What will it take for Valancy to go from
Rebellion flamed up in her soul as the dark hours passed by not because she had no future but because she had no past.One of my favourite youthful readings. Sweet though not maudlin, a bit unreliable at times, clichéd even but somewhat really well worked for me. Valancy Stirling, almost thirty-years-old, today we would say independent and self-aware young woman but a hundred years ago she was perceived as an old spinster, and actually neither independent nor self-aware. When we meet her on her
Such a joyous read for the first book of the year. No wonder it's a classic. I loved every page of it. Valency was a character I cared for a lot. I loved the writing. I loved everything about this book. It warmed my heart a lot. I long for this type of books that are about love, innocence, care more than ever as recently every second book has some sort of violence, abuse, or grief in it. We need more Blue Castles to read.
This is a sweet story about a spinstery spinster who conversely is given a new lease on life when her doctor pronounces a death sentence on her. "If I have only one year to live", she reasons, "I had better start living"! The first thing Valency does while squeezing out of society's cage is to see things (and people) as they truly are and speak the truth, niceties and platitudes be hanged!I have to say that if I wasn't pressured by my daugher to keep reading this, I would have given it up around
