Emily never imagined Aunt Elizabeth would allow her to go to high school in Shrewsbury, and she's thrilled, especially as her close friends Ilse, Teddy and Perry will be there. But there are certain conditions: for the whole three years Emily must board with hateful Aunt Ruth, and she must promise to stop writing stories. To Emily, this is unthinkable, but she wants an education, and reluctantly agrees. With the move from her beloved home at New Moon to Aunt Ruth's house, Emily's world is turned upside down. Not only must she prove herself at school, despite rejection and jealousy, but she can no longer count on her friends. Her happy childhood friendships, especially with Teddy and Perry, start to turn into something more complicated and in a small-town, the merest hint of gossip can cause scandal. Emily Starr siempre ha querido escribir. Al quedar huérfana y en la granja de Luna Nueva, escribir la ayudaba a enfrentarse a los momentos de soledad y tristeza. Ahora, Emily está en edad de asistir a la escuela secundaria de Shrewsbury, donde estudian todos sus amigos. Sin embargo, la severa tía Elizabeth, siempre chapada a la antigua, le ha asegurado que no podrá asistir si no promete abandonar esa absurda afición suya por la escritura. Pese a todo, Emily publica sus primeros poemas y comienza a escribir en el periódico local. Su camino hacia el éxito parece asegurado, pero quizás para continuar en él deba aprovechar una oportunidad magnífica que le brinda el destino pero que le obligará a cambiar su vida para siempre. *** SPOILERS BELOW *** Emily is a very realistic story and girl, she has real consequences in her life and that's always nice in a book. I enjoyed the story and world as a nice break from other things. While this is a charming book, I also find it a tad infuriating. Why do story people always insist on not taking amazing opportunities? Why would you not go to New York for a few years, become successful then when you are known and desired, move back to PEI? WHY??? Also, I enjoyed the dig at Elsie Dinsmore L.M. Montgomery is a long time and all time favorite author of mine. She writes the perfect girls story with just the right mix of adventure, drama and happiness. I find her books a comfort to read and have re-read most of works many times over the years. They are classics for a reason and that reason is they are great. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Emily longs to attend Queen's Academy to earn her teaching license, but her tradition-bound relatives at New Moon refuse unless she lives with her disliked Aunt Ruth and gives up writing fiction. Emily reluctantly agrees and is surprised to find that her powers of storytelling continue to develop despite her family's rules. Through a series of adventures, she is furnished with materials to write stories and poems, and she begins to see romantic possibilities bloom. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
