Description du livre
BY A REMARKABLE CANADIAN WRITER.
The beloved author of Anne of Green Gables continues the adventures of Emily Starr, L. M. Montgomery's own favourite character, in Emily Climbs, the second instalment of the Emily of New Moon trilogy.
Emily never imagined Aunt Elizabeth would allow her to go to high school in Shrewsbury, and she's thrilled, especially as her close friends Ilse, Teddy and Perry will be there. But there are certain conditions: for the whole three years Emily must board with hateful Aunt Ruth, and she must promise to stop writing stories. To Emily, this is unthinkable, but she wants an education, and reluctantly agrees.
With the move from her beloved home at New Moon to Aunt Ruth's house, Emily's world is turned upside down. Not only must she prove herself at school, despite rejection and jealousy, but she can no longer count on her friends. Her happy childhood friendships - especially with Teddy and Perry - start to turn into something more complicated and in a small-town, the merest hint of gossip can cause scandal.
Heart-rending, magical and utterly unforgettable, Emily's story continues in Emily's Quest, also available from Virago Modern Classics.
