Reviews for Emily of New Moon
One of those rare of books you'd recommend to friends.
Emily of New Moon is one of the few books I really highly praise and recommend to my friends. While L.M. Montgomery might be better known for the Anne of Green Gables series, the Emily trilogy is often claimed to be the favorite of many Montgomery fans.
And that is for a reason, Emily is by no means a rip off from Anne. She may share the fate of being an orphan and also moving in with a old stubborn old fashioned woman for an aunt, but Emily's personality and way of communication is very different from Anne Shirley. Also, Emily is the type of girl who has a few but life-long close friends. All in all, the setup may sound the same, but Emily is very different than Anne Shirley for sure. Also the writing in this book is superb, it really shows that it was written further into Montgomery's career.
Of course, this series also has a lot of humor in it like Montgomery always shows in her books. The nature descriptions are wonderful as well. I'll refrain from discussing this book any further to avoid spoilers. Since it's simply a lovely book which is read best by just reading without knowing what to expect. by Lysanne Reijmers
