Emily of New Moon (Emily Part 1) (Emily Starr Trilogy) Kindle Edition

by Lucy Maud Montgomery (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,378 ratings
See all formats and editions
Similar to her earlier and more famous Anne of Green Gables series, the Emily novels depicted life through the eyes of a young orphan girl, Emily Starr, who is raised by her relatives after her father dies of consumption. The series was less romanticized and more realistic than the Anne novels. Montgomery considered Emily to be a character much closer to her own personality than Anne, and some of the events which occur in the Emily series happened to Montgomery herself. Emily is described as having black hair, purply violet eyes, pale skin and a unique and enchanting "slow" smile.

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2015

This review is based on a hardcover edition of this novel which I believe to be unabridged. I came to the book due to the recent Canadian Television Series, and though I've enjoyed that series very much, I find the book is altogether quite different from the series. It held my interest from the first page, and I was deeply moved by the entire achievement. Little Emily in this novel is a writer, a child with the heart and soul of a poet/prose writer who is immensely sensitive to the beauty around her on Prince Edward Island where she is growing up. Her closest friends, Teddy and Ilse, are also highly creative; and the soul of the novel has to do with the passion and courage of Emily in a world where vulnerable creative personalities meet with general bias as well as specific obstacles to their development every day. For me, the strongest and most arresting passages in the book have to do with nature as Emily sees it and moves through it.... trees, woodlands, coastal areas, gardens both natural and created, and the neverending panorama of changing skies. It is worth noting that Emily sees as much beauty in winter around her as she sees in spring or summer; and when she feels deeply, her joy is mingled with pain. Her soul opens when she is given opportunities to write down her thoughts; and the act of writing is therapeutic for her; and over the course of the novel she grows in insight and strength. ----- ------- There is much more to be said about this book. It is part of group of novels of the period that dealt with appealing orphans placed in homes where they had to win over the unsympathetic guardians who burdened with their care. And much can be said about the metaphor of the orphan, and why these books attained such popularity. ---- Another key aspect of the novel is that it takes the mind and soul of a child completely seriously, and does not shrink from strong condemnations of those who are rude and abusive to children. It is not written per se for children; but it is written by some one for whom the child is a full human being. ----------- I do want to explore those aspects of the book (and others) as I continue to read Lucy Maud Montgomery but the primary value of this novel for me is that Emily is a writer; and I think there is much here to comfort, encourage and inspire writers of all ages. The novel rings true. The novel is not just for children. The novel transcends time. I recommend this to anyone interested in the dilemma or the adventure of the creative child, the child who is a dreamer, the child who sees miracles in the physical world all around her, the child whose soul longs to write or paint or make art in any form. This is lovely novel, and it is a strong one and reading it was a rare pleasure. ------ One last note. When I finished it I thought at once of "Martin Eden" by Jack London. That is a book about an adult, and a much darker book. It is wholly different book, and it provides a deeply disturbing ending that many might find disappointing. But "Martin Eden" also about a writer, about the anguishing struggles of a sensitive soul who longs to be surrounded by beauty and to make beauty. ----- I recommend both books very much.

This is only for the audiobook. The book itself is wonderful, the recording is not. There is hollow sound to it, the narrator is okay but the when listening to it in a quiet the hollow sound echoes so badly it sounds like an evp, like faint whispers, very distracting

This author had not been really known in my country and I enjoy reading this story. I first watched the anime that's how I got to read this. I had a lot of fun following the characters and see the bonds between Emily and the family but also with her friends. I am enthralled by her passion for writing and it is interesting to see the feedback she received. It's also good for amateur writers to follow the advice given. Realistic story.

Ho letto tutta la saga di Anna dai capelli rossi e mi sono innamorata di questa scrittrice.. incuriosita da questa trilogia ho acquistato il primo romanzo e devo dire che l'ho adorato! Mi è piaciuto forse anche di più di Anna.. e non vedo l'ora che esca il secondo romanzo. Consigliatissimo!

Lovely read! Just loved it. I picked up this book after Anne of green gable which is very famous book of Lucy Maud Montgomery. I know she wrote most of her stories around orphan life so i was little doubtful if it would be like reading the same story in disguise of different characters. But i liked it more than Anne with e. Emily is just quite different character when Anne happens to be lucky to find good people around her Emily is not. There are very few people who are kind to her and mostly people are mean and torment her without any fault of hers. Poor unlucky child is she. Story is very interesting, i don't understand why people did not like it as much as Anne. Story is quite interesting from the beginning and I just loved this. I did not read series of Anne but i am going to read next book of Emily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emily of New Moon by L. M. Montgomery.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2015

Emily is a most interesting character! A girl with a great imagination and great determination who wants to write. Her childhood was unusual - her first years, happy with her beloved father - then her life changes drastically when her father dies and her relations have to decide who will look after her - while Emily hides under the table to hear what they have to say! Emily's thoughts about her relation's comments about her make most amusing reading. Then she appears. . . ! Emily ends up being looked after by Aunt Elizabeth and Aunt Laura, two very different characters. We read about how Emily settles - with difficulty - into life at New Moon. We are with her as she meets cousin Jimmy and others, and hears about the Lost Diamond. We are with her as she starts school - and meets Ilse, a wild little girl who becomes Emily's friend. We hear about Ilse's father and the tragedy in his life. Then Emily writes - and writes - about everything that happens to her - in her own unique way. And things start happening! There is much more I could write, but all I will add is that this is a great book about a real character of a girl and the interesting - sometimes remarkable - experiences she has.
