Enriched Edition. An Orphan Girl's Coming of Age on Prince Edward IslandBy Lucy Maud Montgomery
Length34h 54m
About this audiobook
The Complete Emily Starr Trilogy gathers Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs, and Emily's Quest, tracing an orphaned girl's passage from wounded childhood to artistic self-command. Set amid the farms, parlors, schools, and shorelines of Prince Edward Island, the novels combine Bildungsroman, Künstlerroman, romance, and domestic fiction. Montgomery's prose is lyrical, ironic, and psychologically alert, balancing Gothic shadows and comic social observation with a sustained meditation on vocation, imagination, and the costs of becoming a writer. Lucy Maud Montgomery, best known for Anne of Green Gables, drew deeply on her own Island upbringing, early bereavements, journal-keeping, teaching experience, and lifelong literary ambition. Emily Starr is often read as Montgomery's most autobiographical heroine: proud, sensitive, disciplined, and fiercely committed to language. Through Emily's manuscripts, rejections, friendships, and inward "flash" of visionary perception, Montgomery revisits the emotional sources of her art with unusual candor. This unabridged trilogy is warmly recommended to readers who value coming-of-age fiction with intellectual seriousness and emotional delicacy. It will especially reward admirers of classic Canadian literature, women's writing, and novels about artistic formation, offering both enchantment and a clear-eyed portrait of creative persistence.
