downsdea 's review for:
The Blue Castle
by L.M. Montgomery
This is delightful. The main character, Valancy is 29 years old and unwed. She’s on track to be an old maid and her family never lets her forget it. She’s everyone’s punching bag, the butt of every joke, meek and spineless and always saying and doing what others want. Well, one day she decides not to take their crap anymore. We see how this changes her and the people around her.
This is just brilliantly written. I feel like the family must be based on someone’s real family, they are just so absurd and yet I believed every second of it. Valancy stole a jar of jam when she was a kid and they literally mention it at every family gathering and that just feels so REAL to me.
It’s cheesy in some ways and there are some predictable twists but it was just fun and charming!
