About this audiobook

Emily Climbs is the second in a series of novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It was first published in 1925. While the legal battle with Montgomery's publishing company (L.C. Page) continued, Montgomery's husband Ewan MacDonald continued to suffer clinical depression. Montgomery, tired of writing the Anne series, created a new heroine named Emily. At the same time as writing, Montgomery was also copying her journal from her early years. The biographical elements heavily influenced the Emily trilogy.

Ratings and reviews

This is a horrible narration. They've got nerve charging for it. It's Libravox quality. And although I understand the idea of having a young person narrate Emily's experience, this narrator just doesn't capture the spirit of this character. So much of the audio feels like it's rambling and she's speeding through it. I'm kicking myself for not listening to a sample before purchasing.

They keep changing readers each chapter and some of them aren't even native English speakers and you can really tell. I'm so lost as to what they are saying half the time. Thus book should be free for the quality it's in
