Book Reviews of The Blue Castle (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

Book Review: Montgomery's best, most mature work
Summary: 5 Stars

Valancy is the most convincing heroine Montgomery ever created. Only 29, she sees the rest of her life stretching out in front of her, and doesn't believe she can change it anymore-- until a doctor tells her she has a short time left to live.

Valancy no longer cares about her oppressive family, or her own reputation. She leaves them and starts to live for herself.

This is not a children's book. Not to say there is any crudity, just that Valancy is very much a woman, leaving her girlhood behind. Her relationship with Barney Snaith is far more memorable than any conventional romance. This is an astoundingly good book.
