Lucy Maud Montgomery

Emily of New Moon

Similar to her earlier and more famous Anne of Green Gables series, the Emily novels depicted life through the eyes of a young orphan girl, Emily Starr, who is raised by her relatives after her father dies of consumption. The series was less romanticized and more realistic than the Anne novels. Montgomery considered Emily to be a character much closer to her own personality than Anne, and some of the events which occur in the Emily series happened to Montgomery herself. Emily is described as having black hair, purply violet eyes, pale skin and a unique and enchanting “slow” smile.

    Emily was even more a lovable child than Anne herself. The story had more gloom, more smooth a pace, more romance even than any previous. Of the characters, so different all of them and so intriguing to unfold their backgrounds. Altogether an inspiring novel for any young or old; beautiful language through and through, only common words can be used to such a comic result! I loved this book and it shall remain cherished to me, and well-remembered, for I have read it in the most important year of my life so far.
