Story
After Emily Starr loses her dear father, the ten-year-old orphan is packed off to live with her starched relatives on Prince Edward Island. If only she could relate to them. Frankly, whip-smart, ambitious Emily can’t imagine ever feeling at home at New Moon Farm. Especially when her writerly dreams are routinely dashed by her autocratic aunt. Then Emily finds an outlet for her creative spirit with a group of friends every bit as passionate and gifted as she. With their help, New Moon could start to feel like home after all.

Jamie MacFarlane has returned a hero from the Great War but with a stubborn chest wound. The government has sent him to their new thermal springs hospital in California "where it was hoped that the brilliant sunshine, the fruits, and the clean air, the eternal summer of a beneficent land" would heal him. But nothing has worked, and with his parents now deceased and no one to care for him, it seems the next step is a camp rife with tuberculosis. Realizing this, Jamie begins his great adventure on foot toward the ocean.

At the age of 22, Jennifer Worth left her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in postwar London’s East End slums. The colorful characters she met while delivering babies all over London - from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lived to the woman with 24 children who couldn't speak English to the prostitutes and dockers of the city’s seedier side - illuminate a fascinating time in history.

Beautiful story
I found this a little hard to get into it first, because I had been reading all the Anne books. But once I got interested, I enjoyed it. I hated to see the end.

This is a beautiful story by the author of Anne of Green Gables. This is one of her few “adult” books, and is a very enjoyable read. So good that Audible has added it. The reader is superb.

great story, lovely voice, word soup
I love this book. The reader has an attractive voice and I really like her accent and characters. But I struggled with the many egregious mispronunciations and scanno style substitutions (e.g. "averted" [sic] for "averred", "extra" [sic] for "extract") and the weird emphasis in some phrases completely changes the meaning in ways that make no sense within the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed it!
In depth details up front are worth the set up. Some things you see coming but are still delightful to hear. You find yourself cheering for her and sharing in her delight of the beauty in simple things. The narrator did a wonderful performance. I would look for more books read specifically by her.

Wonderful and light hearted Victorian romance!!! Always have loved this book!!! The reader was really good with all the characters in this book. Not an easy feat with L.M. Montgomery books as there are sooo many. I'd love to hear the reader read the author's book "Tangled Web".

Move over Anne of Green Gables
I have been enamored with all things Anne from an early age and even into adulthood. I just recently found out about “The Blue Castle” this Spring and decided to give it a whirl. You can’t go wrong with a L.M. Montgomery novel. I couldn’t stop listening. I love the transformation of Valancy and her pure and honest nature. It is an “Anne” novel for adults that you can’t put down!
