Like Anne, I smiled most of the way through. I thought Valancy was a wonderful protagonist. She starts of the book as a 29 year old single woman. She is very unhappy, meek and obedient in a family of over-dramatic, mean, spiteful people. Montgomery painted the Stirling family almost as characatures - obnoxious and petty. I loved every moment of it!
Valancy receives a letter one day and it changes everything. She changes the way she reacts to her family and is determined to say what she things and start living her life. It leads her into some great adventures, new friends and a great love.
Even though it was a bit over dramatic at times, I just adored this book!...more
