Lucy M Montgomery

Kilmeny of the Orchard is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It is the story of a young man named Eric Marshall who goes to teach a school on Prince Edward Island and meets a mute girl that has perfect hearing named Kilmeny. He sees her when he is walking in the woods and hears her playing the violin. He visits her for a long time until he falls in love with her. When he proposes she rejects him, even though she loves him in return, believing that her disability will only hinder his life if they were married, despite his protests that it wouldn't matter at all. Meanwhile, Eric's good friend David who is a renowned throat doctor, comes to the island and visits Eric. He examines Kilmeny, and says that nothing will cure her but an extreme psychological need to speak. This need comes soon when Neil Gordon, who is in love with Kilmeny and madly jealous of Eric, comes behind Eric with an axe, meaning to kill him. Kilmeny is nearby, and without thinking, she yells to Eric to look behind him: she can now speak. Neil runs away on a ship, and Kilmeny and Eric get married.

A Tangled Web is a novel by L. M. Montgomery. It is one of the few books she published that was written mainly for adults. It centers on a community consisting mainly of two families, the Penhallows and the Darks. Over three generations, 60 members of the Penhallow family have married 60 members of the Dark family, creating a tangled web of relationships and emotions.The book was not as financially successful as Montgomery's earlier works as it was released after the Wall Street crash of 1929. 1] Parts of the book were adapted from a short story that L.M. Montgomery had released earlier: "A House Divided Against Itself" which appeared in The Canadian Home Journal in March 1930. 2] The Penhallow family is also mentioned in "The Winning of Lucinda" from Chronicles of Avonlea (1912).

Mistress Pat (1935) is a novel written by L. M. Montgomery. It is the sequel to Pat of Silver Bush, and describes Patricia Gardiner's life in her twenties and early thirties, during which she remains unmarried and takes care of her beloved home, Silver Bush, on Prince Edward Island. Pat hates change as much as ever, and finds in Silver Bush a refuge where she is somewhat shielded from it, but changes happen nevertheless. In the course of eleven years, new servants, new neighbors and new lovers come and go. When Sid marries the insipid May Binnie, who moves in with the family at Silver Bush, life there is no longer as pleasant as before, but Pat clings to her love of home desperately. Pat often wonders whether anything in life, like marriage or children, could be worth leaving Silver Bush behind. She comes close to becoming engaged to Donald Holmes, and later does become engaged to David Kirk, a widower who lives at the Long House (Bets Wilcox's old home) with his sister Suzanne. David eventually breaks the engagement and states (to Pat's protestations) that Hilary Gordon, who has been away studying architecture, is the reason he will never have Pat's affections. When their much-loved live-in housekeeper Judy Plum dies, Pat feels more alone than ever at Silver Bush. When Silver Bush ultimately burns down, Pat must resign herself to living elsewhere. One night, as Pat is looking over the burned remains of Silver Bush, Hilary finally returns to the Island to claim Pat with a kiss.

Lucy M. Montgomery (1874-1942) oli kanadalainen kirjailija, joka kirjoitti nuorisolle klassikkoteoksen Runotyttö etsii tähteään. Alkuteos (Emily's Quest) ilmestyi vuonna 1927.Teoksen on suomentanut Laine Järventaus-Aav (1914-1999). Runotyttö maineen polulla on kolmiosaisen runotyttö-sarjan kolmas osa, ja kertoo päähenkilönä toimivan orpotytö, Emilian nuoresta aikuisuudesta. Hän lopettelee opiskeluaan Shrewsburyssa ja on kieltäytynyt muuttamasta New Yorkiin, vaikka siellä luvattiin hänelle paikkaa, kirjoitustensa johdosta. Hän seurustelee itseään selvästi vanhemman Deanin kanssa, joka sopisi hänelle vaikka isäksi, ja on jo menossa hänen kanssaan naimisiinkin, mutta jokin sanoo hänen sisällään, ettei Dean kuitenkaan ole häntä varten. Asia selviää Emilialle, kun hän saa eräänlaisen näyn autiossa talossa. Emilialla oli aiemminkin ollut tietynlaisia yliluonnollisia taipumuksia, joita hän ei kuitenkaan halunnut tunnustaa, ja ne tulivat aina yllättäen. Taiteilijaksi opiskeleva Teddy oli Emilian suuri ihastus, mutta Teddyn äiti haluaa omistaa Teddynsä ja hävittää tahallaan Teddyn lähettämän kirjeen Emilialle, jossa Teddy olisi pyytänyt vastausta rakkauteensa. Kun kirje ei koskaan saavuttanut alkuperäisessä asussaan Emiliaa, niin Teddy tulkitsi sen niin, ettei Emiliaa kiinnosta, ja valmistautuu menemään naimisiin Ilsen kanssa - joka on myös Emilian paras ystävä - kunnes Teddyn äiti vihdoin paljastaa tuhonneensa Teddyn kirjeen. Kirja saa kuitenkin lopussa todella yllättäviä käänteitä.Runotyttö etsii tähteään on kolmiosoisen runotyttö-sarjan kolmas osa.Lukija: Ritva-Liisa Elivuo. Kansikuva: Anssi Rauhala.
