L.M Montgomery

    Lucy Maud Montgomery è celebrata per i suoi acclamati romanzi, in particolare per una serie che inizia con "Anna dai capelli rossi". La sua scrittura è caratterizzata da descrizioni liriche del paesaggio e da profonde intuizioni sulla vita interiore delle giovani protagoniste. Montgomery esplora magistralmente temi come l'infanzia, il passaggio all'età adulta e la ricerca di appartenenza, ambientando spesso le sue narrazioni sullo sfondo pittoresco della campagna canadese. Le sue opere risuonano con i lettori per il loro duraturo ottimismo e la celebrazione dell'immaginazione.

    • Kilmeny of the Orchard is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It is the story of a young man named Eric Marshall who goes to teach a school on Prince Edward Island and meets a mute girl that has perfect hearing named Kilmeny. He sees her when he is walking in the woods and hears her playing the violin. He visits her for a long time until he falls in love with her. When he proposes she rejects him, even though she loves him in return, believing that her disability will only hinder his life if they were married, despite his protests that it wouldn't matter at all. Meanwhile, Eric's good friend David who is a renowned throat doctor, comes to the island and visits Eric. He examines Kilmeny, and says that nothing will cure her but an extreme psychological need to speak. This need comes soon when Neil Gordon, who is in love with Kilmeny and madly jealous of Eric, comes behind Eric with an axe, meaning to kill him. Kilmeny is nearby, and without thinking, she yells to Eric to look behind him: she can now speak. Neil runs away on a ship, and Kilmeny and Eric get married.
