You know, I think this must be the only LMM I haven’t read! Time to remedy that! I grew up in PEI, and her voice is one I return to often. Like our own Jane Austen for observing human nature.

I loved the warm father-daughter relationship in this book. That sets it apart from the rest of her works, like Anne of Green Gables and The Story Girl.

I remember reading this book after I saw the movie. I remember the movie version really freaking me out for some reason.

L. M. Montgomery’s *Jane of Lantern Hill* may not be as famous as *Anne of Green Gables*, but it’s just as enchanting. Set against the backdrop of Prince Edward Island, the story follows Jane’s journey from a restrictive life in the city to discovering independence, family, and joy in a seaside home. It’s a heartwarming exploration of domestic life and the freedom that comes from finding your true self—definitely a must-read for fans of Montgomery’s storytelling magic!
