The third book in the 'Emily' trilogy. "Here is told the story, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, of how Emily Starr of New Moon, Blair Water, came to be a great writer and a credit to the Clan Murray who had looked upon this strange talent with grave forebodings. It is the story, also, of the love of Emily and Teddy Kent which progressed through countless vicissitudes, stranger even than Emily's own fiction, to a happy ending at Blair Water. An unusual story, sensitively told. The diary form adds a certain directness."
