Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery
4.0
Read for Popsugar: A trilogy (1/3)
I grew up loving Anne of Green Gables and I'm kind of amazed I never got around to this one! I like Emily's spunk and determination. The letters to her father are a fun conceit (and create such a good dramatic scene at the end!). There are good friends and good cats. We love her found family at New Moon! I think I'm a little less in love with this story than Anne's, though. Maybe part of it is my grown-up self reading it - I have trouble with the treatment of the "infidels," as well as the Dean Priest situation. Like yikes. As always, the descriptions of nature are sublime and I want to visit PEI so very badly. On to Emily Climbs!
