The Blue Castle
Valancy lives a drab
life with her overbearing mother and prying aunt. Then a shocking
diagnosis from Dr. Trent prompts her to make a fresh start. For the
first time, she does and says exactly what she feels. As she expands her
limited horizons, Valancy undergoes a transformation, discovering a new
world of love and happiness. One of Lucy Maud Montgomery's only novels
intended for an adult audience, The Blue Castle is filled with humor
and romance.

This is one of my favorites of all time and probably one of my top 5 most read books - I had a good time rereading it for the millionth time a week or so ago. I fell in love with Anne of Green Gables eons ago and remember going to the book store with my mom (possibly BDaltons? Waldenbooks? This was pre-Barnes and Noble and Amazon! I'm pre-historic!) and getting the list of L.M. Montgomery books available. I saved up my money and ordered every single one. Directly from the book store. (Yes, people actually used to do that.) I can't even remember how old I was - late elementary school? Early middle school? Anyway, moving on. The Blue Castle is one of the few adult books L.M. Montgomery wrote and it is sweet and touching and darling and adorable. A very lovely, light romance. Read it! All the preciousness of Anne of Green Gables rolled into one book.

Mom note: As
a mother of readers, I also
want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or
would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I
forget. This is an adult book, but could be YA or Juvenile.
Violence: none; Profanity: none; Sex: none
