<p><strong>Somewhere between Green Gables and Avonlea there is a Blue Castle....</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Lucy Maud Montgomery</strong> internationally best-selling Canadian author wrote about girls who escaped into the wild when the world stopped making sense.

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 <em>of the heart</em>. Bullied by her well-heeled stuffy and judgmental family Valancy has grown up without 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 <em>drastic</em> action. And once Valancy knows she has nothing to lose? Everything changes.</p><p> </p><p>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 <em>Jane Eyre</em> and <em>Emma</em>.
