Emily of New Moon

"Emily of New Moon" is a novel written by L. M. Montgomery, best known for her "Anne of Green Gables" series. Emily of New Moon is the first book in the Emily trilogy, which follows the life of a young girl named Emily Starr who, much like Anne, is an imaginative and creative spirit, albeit with a more introverted and introspective nature.

The novel focuses on Emily's early years, particularly after she is sent to live with her strict, traditional aunts in the fictional village of New Moon, following the death of her father. Emily's strong-willed nature, her struggles with family expectations, and her desire to pursue writing as a career form the core of the story. Montgomery's writing reflects themes of self-discovery, the importance of creativity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
