About this edition

Orphaned at eleven and taken in by the proud Murrays of New Moon, Emily Byrd Starr is a fierce, dark-eyed child who feels too much and forgets nothing. When grief or beauty overwhelms her, the flash comes: a sudden glimpse of something radiant just beyond the world, and she must write, always write, to bear it.

Sensitive and headstrong, she clashes with stern Aunt Elizabeth, finds kindred spirits in Ilse, Teddy and Perry, and pours her whole heart into the words she is compelled to set down, even when she is forbidden to.

L. M. Montgomery’s most personal heroine, moodier and more haunted than Anne of Green Gables. Emily of New Moon (1923) opens a trilogy about a girl who survives loss, cruelty and her own burning imagination by becoming, against all odds, a writer. Bound behind an original painting.
