The Blue Castle (Annotated and Illustrated)

Village Lane Classics Edition

By: Lucy Maude Montgomery, RC Leach

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Valancy Stirling is a 29-year-old spinster living with her overbearing family in the small, conservative town of Deerwood. Her life is dull and predictable- until she receives a devastating medical diagnosis, which prompts her to reevaluate her life choices.

Much to the shock of her family and the entire community, in response to her prognosis, Valancy decides to break free from societal expectations and her family's control. She moves out of her family's home, finds a job, and even pursues a romantic relationship with Barney Snaith, a mysterious man with a very questionable reputation.

The Blue Castle is at once a clean Victorian love story, a cheer for women becoming the people they want to be, and an unexpected twist on the beloved billionaire romance. It is a fun and thoroughly lovable departure from LM Montgomery's best-known series, Anne of Green Gables, but with the same humor and equally-memorable characters.
