Jane of Lantern Hill
Jane
of Lantern Hill (1937) Set partly in Toronto and partly on Prince
Edward Island, this late novel is a celebration of domesticity and the domestic
management skills that liberate a young girl of separated parents. Jane
develops a love for PEI along with her love for cooking and cleaning, and
works to reunite her mother and father. Does the original book cover suggest
her new-found freedom or strength? The novel was dedicated to Montgomery's
beloved cat:
"To the Memory of 'Lucky' the Charming, Affectionate Comrade of Fourteen
Years." |
