Valancy Stirling's dull life as a 29-year-old "old maid" - living with her oppressive, stuffy family - is entirely transformed when she receives a life-changing terminal medical diagnosis.Wishing to enjoy her remaining days, she throws off tradition and adventures bravely into the world of romance, in search of the man and "Blue Castle" of her dreams!"The Blue Castle" is a delightful, inspiring 1926 Canadian novel from author Lucy Maud Montgomery (best known for her 1908 book "Anne of Green Gables").

About Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada, and raised by her maternal grandparents. She attended Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown, where she completed the two-year teaching-certificate program in one year, and went on to study literature at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She returned to live with her grandmother on Prince Edward Island, which became the basis for her “Anne” books. The publication of Anne of Green Gables in 1908 brought her overnight success.

Montgomery’s humor in this story is exceptional. Her (or should I say the main character, Valancy’s) wit and sarcasm made me......more
