Then a shocking diagnosis from Dr. Trent prompts her to make a fresh start. For the first time, she does and says exactly what she feels. As she expands her limited horizons, Valancy undergoes a transformation, discovering a new world of love and happiness. One of Lucy Maud Montgomery's only novels intended for an adult audience, The Blue Castle is filled with humour and romance. Summary from Goodreads. Rated 4.2 by Goodreads. Rated 4.6 by Amazon #4 in Classics 27/8/17 #6 in Classics 29/9/17 #12 in Classics 7/9/17 PS. A random teen novel contains ten times more iffy stuff than this. No need to worry that it was meant for adults.
