About this book
The Blue Castle is a novel
by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, best known for her novel Anne of Green
Gables (1908). One of Montgomery's first and only novels intended for an adult
audience and the only one set outside of
Prince Edward Island, The Blue Castle tells the story of Valancy Stirling, a
twenty-nine year old spinster, who lives a drab life with her overbearing
mother and prying aunt in the fictional town of Deerwood, based on Bala,
Ontario. After visiting the doctor because of chest pains, Valancy receives
word that she has only a year to live. As she expands her limited horizons,
Valancy undergoes a transformation, discovering a new world of happiness. What
may initially seem to be a simple and uncomplicated love story offers fertile
ground for contemplation.
