Description
From the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables comes the first novel in the celebrated Emily trilogy—a poignant coming-of-age story set on early twentieth-century Prince Edward Island. When Emily Starr loses her father, she becomes an orphan forced to leave her cherished home and live with her stern, disapproving relatives at New Moon Farm. Navigating a world of snobbish relatives and cruel classmates, Emily discovers that her quick wit, fierce independence, and creative spirit are her greatest weapons against loneliness and despair. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, L.M. Montgomery captures both the beauty and anguish of growing up, creating a more realistic and deeply moving portrait of adolescence than her famous Anne series. This timeless classic explores themes of resilience, belonging, and the transformative power of imagination in the face of life's hardships.
