Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Jane of Lantern Hill

For as long as she could remember, Jane Stuart and her mother lived with her grandmother in a dreary mansion in Toronto. Jane always believed her father was dead until she accidentally learned he was alive and well and living on Prince Edward Island. When Jane spends the summer at his cottage on Lantern Hill, doing all the wonderful things Grandmother deems unladylike, she dares to dream that there could be such a house back in Toronto... a house where she, Mother, and Father could live together without Grandmother directing their lives — a house that could be called home.

Crit Containing Books Jane of Lantern Hill

Absolutely adored this book the first time I read it! Not sure why, but at the time I felt it was probably my favorite of Montgomery's stand-alone novels, next to "Blue Castle." When I re-read it recently, I was somewhat less impressed and actually didn't finish the reread (though more due to a lot of crazy stuff going on with Life at present) but I still thought it had some lovely passages and sentiment and Jane is an endearing heroine.

SO delightful. Can I just drop everything and live on PEI now, please? I mean, I'll take my family. And as long as I'm making outrageous requests of the universe, I'm going to throw in a little time travel as well - PEI about a century ago. Thanks.

LOVE. Not sure how I managed to wait so long to read this one.

This may be one of my new favorite L.M. Montgomery books. This is the story about a young girl named Jane. She and her mother live in her Grandmother's house. Her grandmother is, let's be honest, emotionally abusive. When she is not obeyed she belittles and uses guilt to get her family to do what she expects. Jane starts out as a weak colorless scared young lady who has a few escapes: her friend next store and the moon. Suddenly a girl at school mentions her father; Jane finds out he is alive!

This book is such a comfort read for me. I love Jane because she breaks away from the typical L.M. Montgomery mould of being the sensitive, dreamy, romantic type with a wonderful imagination. Instead she is sensible and capable, down-to-earth and a very good cook. She's great! One of the things I like best about L.M. Montgomery, I've decided on re-reading this for the millionth time, is the awesome houses she gives her characters. They have such fun decorating them, putting up curtains and cool

I finished this book yesterday, Nov. 30, appropriate because it was the birthday of it's author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, born on that day 141 years ago. I have read most of her novels and a good many of her short stories, and what stands out to me was the consistent high quality of her writing, her stories and her characters. There is a similarity in all of them, a pattern, but she knew what she was doing and it worked to perfection. Her library of writing, her legacy, is still being enjoyed by

I can't believe I'd never read this before! Montgomery is so good at writing terrible, repressive surroundings, and Jane's magical summer is such a relief - and so is her coming back to Toronto different, in a way that's entirely beyond her grandmother's power to change. The ending might be ridiculous, but it's also earned (if only by Jane) and just so sweet.
