Emily knows she's going to be a great writer. She also knows that she and her childhood sweetheart, Teddy Kent, will conquer the world together. But when Teddy leaves home to pursue his goal to become an artist at the School of Design in Montreal, Emily's world collapses. With Teddy gone, Emily agrees to marry a man she doesn't love ... as she tries to banish all thoughts of Teddy. In her heart, Emily must search for what being a writer really means....
L.M. Montgomery may not have loved the last two books in this series as much as the first… but, I cannot sing its praises enough.
There was a sadness to Emily’s Quest, unlike the others and it makes me wonder what Montgomery felt when she was writing it. The loneliness that Emily experiences, almost until the very end.
But, like all of Montgomery’s other stories–this one doesn’t fail to be uplifting at the end, even if it is short and sweet.
Emily will forever be one of my favorite book heroines.
