Emily of New Moon
After her father dies of tuberculosis, young Emily Starr is taken in by her proud, unbending relatives at New Moon Farm on Prince Edward Island. It is a harder, more inward story than Montgomery’s Anne books. Emily is a born writer who feels a private thrill she calls the flash, and she pours her grief and her fierce spirit into letters and verses even when the adults around her disapprove. She finds real friends in Ilse, Teddy, and Perry, and slowly makes a place for herself in a household that runs on old family pride. First published in 1923, it opens a trilogy that many readers hold above all her other work. This free PDF and EPUB edition contains the complete novel.
