Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

The third and final volume of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s celebrated Emily trilogy, Emily’s Quest is a vigorously drawn study of a woman coming to terms with love and her own ambition. In no other novel did Montgomery explore more fully the beauty, complexity, and wonder of love. In every detail, this mature novel, by one of the world’s best-loved authors, captures the drama and confusion of a young life on the brink.

Along with Emily of New Moon and Emily Climbs, Emily’s Quest is an honest and poignant portrait of a singular woman.


From the Publisher

Emily knows she's going to be a great writer. She also knows that she and her childhood sweetheart, Teddy Kent, will conquer the world together. But when Teddy leaves home to pursue his goal to become an artist at the School of Design in Montreal, Emily's world collapses. With Teddy gone, Emily agrees to marry a man she doesn't love ... as she tries to banish all thoughts of Teddy. In her heart, Emily must search for what being a writer really means.... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars <--and a half, April 14 2001
By "gingirl15" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emily's Quest (Paperback)
Personally, perhaps because I loved the imaginative and spunky Emily of the first two books, I was fairly disapointed with how dry and boring this was. Of course it had many life lessons about patience, loneliness, and that things don't always go your way, but it lost lots of its flavor that Lucy Maud Montgomery had in the first two. I love her books, all except this one. The ending, I must say, was certainly worth the disapointment found, yet I cannot give more than three and a half for a book I dreaded reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, but over-dramatic, April 6 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Emily's Quest (School & Library Binding)
I loved all the Emily books, but Emily's Quest was my least favorite. My main complaint about it was the resemblance it bore to a soap opera, with the whole Emily-Ilse-Perry-Teddy mess at the end. L.M. Montgomery is a magnificent writer, and was almost able to carry it off through her brilliant characterizations of Emily, Ilse and Perry, who all behaved in highly believable manners that were consistent with their characters in previous books. Emily's pride keeping her from Teddy--that was entirely in character. Ilse's impulsiveness at the end--also entirely fitting. Perry's blossoming into a mature adult--again, credible and endearing. But in order to create the soap opera, Montgomery had to paint Teddy as distant and aloof--not the Teddy we're used to and not the Teddy we can appreciate. I would have preferred less drama and thrills...and a more real, endearing Teddy that we could enjoy watching develop.

3.0 out of 5 stars The ending is horrible!, May 25 2000
By Adi Adler (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Emily's Quest (Paperback)
I didn't like this book as much as the first two in the trilogy because of three reasons. The first one is that Emily has grown up, and like most of us had lost all her childish charms and ambitions, and now is just anither down to earth grown up, not that charming, amusing and odd little child. The second reason is that is seems that the author had very little to add about Emily, mainly Emily finding a proper husband and her growing writing career, and think these two subjects would have filled a much shorter book. Things would not have been that bad if the ending hadn't been so lame, which is my third and most important reason for not liking this book: Teddy just shows up one day out od nowhere and with no special and logical reason, whistles his three notes, and everything is fine between himself and Emily. This seems like the natural ending of this trilogy, but the way it is brought about is not!

First, its unfair to compare Anne and Emily. Both are different types of characters. Anne, for me, shines through because I recognize a sort of "bubbling-with-life"... Read more
