The Blue Castle

By: L. M. Montgomery

Narrated by: Kelli Tager

Valency Stirling has lived a life of submission. Controlled by a domineering mother and an over-opinionated family, she awakens on her 29th birthday resigned to dull existence. Her only escape - the Blue Castle of her imagination.

But when an unexpected letter changes everything, Valency breaks the bonds of fear and finds purpose in a whole new life - a life that turns the Blue Castle of her dreams into a reality.

Best known for her Anne of Green Gables series, L.M. Montgomery’s The Blue Castle is one of her few adult novels, full of both humor and romance.

One of the best books in a while!

Ok, it will start off very slow but once you get to chapter 10, the story will get better and better and better! This has become one of my new favorites!

So unrealistic

This is a nice story if you like happy endings and everything to turn out very neatly and perfect. It’s really quite unbelievable and that’s not my kind of book. However, I’ve always liked LM Montgomery and it’s well done and a very good narrator.

Give it a chance; it is worth your time

I truly disliked the beginning of this book, and stuck it out because of the author. I am very glad I did.

For

Starts slow… keep going! I loved it. Totally different than Anne of Green Gables and yet you still get a wonderful sense of Montgomery’s imagination for bringing nature to life.

Beautiful

The reading was perfect and the story is one that will never leave my heart.

Personal Favourite

Thank you for bringing this favourite of more than 50 years to audible. Now if only someone would do an unabridged version of The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge.

Move over Anne of Green Gables

I have been enamored with all things Anne from an early age and even into adulthood. I just recently found out about “The Blue Castle” this Spring and decided to give it a whirl. You can’t go wrong with a L.M. Montgomery novel. I couldn’t stop listening. I love the transformation of Valancy and her pure and honest nature. It is an “Anne” novel for adults that you can’t put down!

What a true delight!!

I really loved this book and was very surprised at the humor, the pathos and the beautiful descriptions of nature. it was a sheer delight to hear the story of this poor unfortunate girl who had a dream and how it all materialized for her.

❤️ Story!!!

Wonderful and light hearted Victorian romance!!! Always have loved this book!!! The reader was really good with all the characters in this book. Not an easy feat with L.M. Montgomery books as there are sooo many. I'd love to hear the reader read the author's book "Tangled Web".

A new favorite!

Where has this book been my whole life? It is funny, charming, and clever. Such a funny and heartwarming story. If your heart is in Green Gables and Avonlea, you will find it also has a room in the Blue Castle.
