Emily Starr never knew what it was to be lonely—until her beloved father died. Now Emily's an orphan, and her mother's snobbish relatives are taking her to live with them at New Moon Farm. She's sure she won't be happy. Emily deals with stiff, stern Aunt Elizabeth and her malicious classmates by holding her head high and using her quick wit.
Emily of New Moon is the first book in L. M. Montgomery’s Emily series, published in 1923. This charming coming-of-age novel introduces Emily Starr, a young orphan who is sent to live with her stern, religious aunts at New Moon, a house in the rural Prince Edward Island. Emily’s story is one of personal growth, literary ambition, and the discovery of her own voice as a writer.
The novel begins with Emily’s life being uprooted after the death of her father. She is sent to live with her three aunts—Aunt Elizabeth, Aunt Ruth, and Aunt Laura—who have very different approaches to raising her. Emily's aunts are strict and often unyielding in their ways, but Emily's bright spirit, vivid imagination, and love for writing set her apart from their expectations. Throughout the book, Emily faces emotional and social challenges, often feeling misunderstood and out of place in her new home.
