A dark, starry and mysterious beauty..., 10. Juni 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Of all the Montgomery novels I have read, I find the "Emily"-Series the best. These books have a dark, starry and mysterious beauty all their own. The series reflects the maturity and mastery which LMM attained near the end of her life in the artistic, sometimes flowery, portrayal of very special people growing in mind, spirit and body. In the Emily-Series, she describes not only Emily's own story, but also the influence her life has on the persons in her environment.Emily is destined, no, she is fore-ordained, to become a writer. And she must suffer all the heights and depths which such a sensitive soul must suffer to attain her calling in life. Lucy Montgomery does a wonderful job of describing this very special child and her struggles, leading to the moment in which Emily passes the threshold between childhood and womanhood. Interesting is also Lucy Montgomery's autobiographic influence in these novels. Interesting also, that Emily is psychic, her recurring "flashes" allowing her for short periods to penetrate the veil between this world and the spiritual world around us. Lucy Montgomery would never have had the liberty to write such things in the Anne-Series, also reflecting her growing maturity and self-assuredness as a writer. The pain involved in Emily's growth is sometimes so intense, that the novels even effected me personally. I have read all three books several times, so I warn anybody who wants to take up the challenge: once you start, you won't be able to put them down, so make sure you have enough free time available.

Some books exist. These live., 20. April 2000
Anne of Green Gables may be L.M. Montgomery's best-known book, but it doesn't deserve to be. While Anne is somewhat superficial and Pollyanna-ish, Montgomery gave Emily all the light and darkness of a living being. Emily's character is developed through her own eyes as she writes in her journal, but a hillarious, pathetic, wise, and unforgettable supporting cast prevent the books from being to introspective. Montgomery does occasionally fall into her besetting sin of over-flowery descriptions, but they in no way detract from the haunting beauty of this series.

One of LMM's best!, 20. Februar 2000
Von Ein Kunde
This is a delightful book! In some ways, it is like Anne of Green Gables--Emily is a orphan who goes to live with strict guardian--but it has its own special charm. The characters are more developed, though I LOVED Marilla, Matthew, and the rest of Avonlea, Cousin Jimmy, Aunt Nancy, Aunt Elizabeth, Dr.Burnley, and Mrs.Kent(Teddy's mother) is even more interesting. The Murray clan is absolutely hilarious! And Emily's friends are pretty special too. They are all unique--hot-tempered Ilse, crude but lovable Perry, and Teddy(my favorite!) Each episode is a work of art--and the adventures are even more delightful looking through Emily's eyes in her letters to her Father. Emily gives a special tang to everything--she isn't as sweet as Anne or as lovable as Pat, but there is something about her--mysterious, passionate, ambitious--which makes her just as delightful, or even more so.
