Emily of New Moon

“If it's IN you to climb you must -- there are those who MUST lift their eyes to the hills -- they can't breathe properly in the valleys.” Emily of New Moon, published in 1923, is the first of a series of novels by Canadian novelist L. M. Montgomery, well known for her work Anne of Green Gables (1908). Emily of New Moon is a darker collection of books than Anne of Green Gables. The series revolves around Emily Starr, who is sent to live with snobbish relatives when her beloved father dies. Emily finds solace in writing and nature despite the bullying she receives from her peers and uncaring family members, makes new friends, and perseveres thanks to her sharp wit.
