Emily Climbs

Written by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrated by Cynthia Franklin and Zacharias Prewett

Emily Climbs is the second in a series of novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It was first published in 1925. While the legal battle with Montgomery's publishing company (L.C. Page) continued, Montgomery's husband Ewan MacDonald continued to suffer clinical depression. Montgomery, tired of writing the Anne series, created a new heroine named Emily. At the same time as writing, Montgomery was also copying her journal from her early years. The biographical elements heavily influenced the Emily trilogy.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

L. M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author who published 20 novels and hundreds of short stories, poems, and essays. She is best known for the Anne of Green Gables series. Montgomery was born in Clifton (now New London) on Prince Edward Island on November 30, 1874. Raised by her maternal grandparents, she grew up in relative isolation and loneliness, developing her creativity with imaginary friends and dreaming of becoming a published writer. Her first book, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908 and was an immediate success, establishing Montgomery's career as a writer, which she continued for the remainder of her life.

Reviews for Emily Climbs

[Michelle Humber · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Why is it narrated by so many different people? That alone does not let you keep in the story, and some of them do a very bad job of it

[Leah Dickinson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The book was lovely but the multiple readers were distracting.

I loved the storyline with Emily the budding determination to be a writer but didn't like the constant change in the readers of this audio sometime barely able to understand.
