Produktbeschreibung

The Blue Castle: A Novel by L. M. Montgomery follows a woman approaching thirty, trapped in a life of unfulfilled desires and oppressive family dynamics. She lives in a home that stifles her, burdened by the weight of societal expectations and a lack of romantic experiences. On the verge of a significant birthday, she reflects on the life she has led, consumed by a sense of disappointment and longing for a more meaningful existence. She dreams of a fantastical, idealized place that represents freedom and happiness, where she can escape her current reality. This longing for a different life reveals her sorrow and humor as she questions the societal norms and expectations that have shaped her world. The story delves into personal transformation and the desire to break free from the shackles of familial obligations. It explores the journey toward independence, where she begins to challenge the constraints placed upon her and considers the possibility of a more fulfilling life on her own terms.

Autorenporträt

The best-known works by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery OBE, also known by her pen as L M Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), include a number of novels, essays, short tales, and poems that began with Anne of Green Gables in 1908. Along with 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 articles, she also authored 20 novels. The novel Anne of Green Gables was an instant hit, and the titular character, the orphan Anne Shirley, helped make Lucy Maud Montgomery famous and earned her a global following. The majority of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and those parts of Canada's tiniest province-specifically, Green Gables farm, which served as the inspiration for Prince Edward Island National Park-became literary landmarks and well-liked tourist destinations. In 1935, she received the title of officer of the Order of the British Empire. Scholars and readers from all over the world have read and studied Montgomery's writings, journals, and correspondence. The University of Prince Edward Island's L. M. Montgomery Institute is in charge of doing academic research into L. M. Montgomery's life, works, culture, and influence. On November 30, 1874, Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island (now New London).
