Kilmeny of the Orchard
Kilmeny of the Orchard | Lucy M Montgomery
4 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Kilmeny of the Orchard is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It is the story of a young man named Eric Marshall who goes to teach a school on Prince Edward Island and meets a mute girl that has perfect hearing named Kilmeny. He sees her when he is walking in the woods and hears her playing the violin. He visits her for a long time until he falls in love with her. When he proposes she rejects him, even though she loves him in return, believing that her disability will only hinder his life if they were married, despite his protests that it wouldn't matter at all. Meanwhile, Eric's good friend David who is a renowned throat doctor, comes to the island and visits Eric. He examines Kilmeny, and says that nothing will cure her but an extreme psychological need to speak. This need comes soon when Neil Gordon, who is in love with Kilmeny and madly jealous of Eric, comes behind Eric with an axe, meaning to kill him. Kilmeny is nearby, and without thinking, she yells to Eric to look behind him: she can now speak. Neil runs away on a ship, and Kilmeny and Eric get married.

Liz_M How are you liking MW, SK? I tried, and failed, to read his BL, RW. 3y
AnneCecilie @Liz_M I‘m enjoying MW, SK. James know how to tell a story and I love his writing. I loved BL, RW. 3y
Cinfhen I couldn‘t read BL, RW and it was a most anticipated read for me!! 3y
AnneCecilie @Cinfhen I absolutely love his writing. I forget how much I love it between each read. Before the first page was finished, I was hooked. 3y
Cinfhen I know what you mean about his writing!! I think it was the myth & fantasy aspect I couldn‘t connect with. I‘m so glad you‘re enjoying. 3y

I am so loving reading all of the LMM books I had never gotten to before. Kilmeny of the Orchard has all the charm and warmth of her other books. I think that‘s what I like most about them - escaping to a different time filled with interesting people and beautiful descriptions of various places in PEI. Best way I can describe it is they give you the warm fuzzies. The story itself gets a tad predictable at various points but it doesn‘t bother ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Me here. As far as I‘m concerned, we all need a few Happily Ever Afters every now and then. 4⭐️ #historicalfiction #LMM 3y

One of LMMontgomery‘s short standalone novels that is NOT about Anne or Emily! The MC Eric falls in love with a beautiful girl named Kilmeny who is unable to speak.

I really did love this story although there is quite a bit about it that is outdated, narrow-minded, or even incorrect thinking. But there is value in classics like this and having critical thinking discussions about how the world changes and brings literature with it.
