"[...]and he loved that man's son with a love surpassing that of brothers. He had followed Eric's college course with keen, watchful interest. It was his wish that Eric should take up the study of law or medicine now that he was through Arts; and he was greatly disappointed that Eric should have finally made up his mind to go into business with his father. "It's a clean waste of your talents," he grumbled, as they walked home from the college. "You'd win fame and distinction in law-- that glib tongue of yours was meant for a lawyer and it is sheer flying in the face of Providence to devote it to commercial uses--a flat crossing of the purposes of destiny. Where is your ambition, man?" "In the right place," answered Eric, with his ready laugh. "It is not your kind, perhaps, but there is room and need for all kinds in this lusty young country of ours. Yes, I am going into the business. In the first place, it has been father's cherished desire ever since I [...]".

By Margaret (Literary Chanteuse) Eric Marshall, the son of a wealthy businessman is asked shortly after graduation by a Queenslea College colleague to teach in his place at a school located in Prince Edward Island (Canada) Under the pressure of high expectations by his father he decides to take the temporary diversion and enjoy his limited carefree days. He begins to settle into island life and finds much needed peace.Soon after he meets Kilmeny Gordon, a sweet young, vibrant and talented girl. Her somewhat turbulent past and odd family relations keep her a secret and a hidden treasure of the town. Eric is enchanted and even after discovering she is mute he is determined to win her love.The newly enhanced cover by Vintage Reader Collection instantly caught my eye. It is simply beautiful and captures the dreamy quality of Kilmeny perfectly. The story reads like a enchanting fairytale. The setting is vivdly projected and the love story endearing. Not having read any of the Anne of Green Gables series yet this has encouraged me to do so soon. A wonderful Canadian author!

The Blossoming of a Young Woman By Plume45 This 1910 LMM novel (before they were designated “Romances”) is a gently-paced stand-alone story whose protagonist is surprisingly a 25-year-old fellow--one Eric Marshall, destined for the family business on the mainland. But as in many LMM novels The Island Cure (Prince Edward Island, of course) proves the best for the lonely heart. Answering the call of a colleague to be an interim schoolmaster Eric Marshall arrives unsuspecting that his life will change—nay Begin--when he meets the delicate but mute Kilmeny—playing her violin in a beautiful orchard.This child-woman of 18, who cannot speak, is totally naive of the world, shut up in her relatives’ gloomy house, and susceptible to any man with kindly or even evil intent. The literary style is quaintly old-fashioned and the chapter titles themselves give broad hints as to the plot development. Certain features are definitely dated: men would not ramble so much with gushing descriptions of Nature in their letters to each other; many paragraphs of exposition re Kilmeny’s dark past are not separated by some physical action on the part of the intent listener. The author reveals or implies a certain distrust for the darker, foreign element (Italians in this case) and even finds gentle amusement in the speeches and ways of Scottish immigrants to maritime Canada. This latter book may be LMM’s subtle attempt at a Gothic novel—with the curse of muteness and gradually revealed psychological horrors re the sins of the fathers being visited unjustly on their innocent children. Despite the predictable, dramatic denouement this story will charm girls 13-73.

By HMS Warspite Lucy Maud Montgomery's 1910 novel, "Kilmeny of the Orchard", is an unusual romance, set on the author's very own magic island of imagination, Prince Edward Island, Canada. A young college graduate named Eric Marshall takes a temporary job as a substitute teacher in the village of Lindsey. On an evening ramble, he discovers a neglected orchard, and a beautiful woman who plays the violin in a bewitching manner. The young woman, whose name is Kilmeny, has a tragic history and a stunning disability. The two will become friends. Eric will be moved to declare his intentions, but his love will face multiple obstacles: skeptical parents, a reluctant bride, a dangerous rival, and an interfering relative. Eric will have to prove himself worthy of Kilmeny in a dramatic conclusion.According to Montgomery biographer Elizabeth Waterston, "Kilmeny of the Orchard" is an expanded version of a short story written in 1908. Montgomery was under some pressure to continue to publish following the success of "Anne of Green Gables" and its first sequel, "Anne of Avonlea." Kilmeny is not as well-developed as some of Montgomery's other novels, but it is likely to be enjoyed by her fans.
