The Blue Castle (Rediscovered Classics)

“If it had not rained on a certain May morning, Valancy Stirling’s whole life would have been entirely different. . .”

One day, Valancy Stirling, a quiet, shy old maid, makes a life-changing decision: she will no longer listen to her nosy, small-minded relatives and will begin doing exactly as she pleases.

Over the course of the next year:

• Valancy’s bold choices transform her life.
• She outrages her family.
• She confuses the entire town of Deerwood.
• She finds herself drawn to the mischievous, mysterious, violet-eyed Barney Snaith.

This is a heart-warming romance with a bold, contemporary message: a life spent appeasing other people is a wasted one.

From the beloved author of the Anne of Green Gables series, this story is sure to captivate readers with its charm and timeless relevance.
