About this ebook

From the author of Anne of Green Gables, comes a heart-warming tale of courage and romance. Follow 29-year-old Valency as she breaks free from the confines of her strict family and sets out to discover a new world of possibility.

Valency has spent her entire life with her head down, trying to please her overbearing mother. At 29-years-old, she’s never been in love and has resigned herself to a life as an old maid. The only escape Valency has is within the books of her favourite author, John Foster, and she takes comfort in her dreams of the blue castle he so vividly describes. But after discovering that she has a terminal heart condition, she decides to change her fate.

Will Valency be able to free herself from her family’s clutches? Will she ever find happiness and true love?

With themes of hope, inner strength, romance and pioneering feminism, The Blue Castle is a charming tale that is sure to touch your heart.

Short enough to not get tedious, but long enough to satisfy a readers curiosity. No regrets.
