Synopsis

The Blue Castle is a novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, first published in 1926. A charming novel that centers around Valancy Stirling, a 29-year-old woman living a dreary and oppressive life in a small Canadian town in the early 20th century. Valancy is dominated by her overbearing family, who view her as an old maid with little to offer. Her only escape is her imagination, where she dreams of a beautiful 'Blue Castle' where she is free and happy. Valancy's life takes a dramatic turn when she receives a shocking diagnosis from her doctor: she has a heart condition and less than a year to live. Faced with this grim prognosis, Valancy decides to break free from her restrictive existence and start living on her own terms. She moves out of her family's home, defies societal expectations, and begins to make choices that bring her joy and fulfillment. In her quest for a more meaningful life, Valancy finds love with Barney Snaith, a reclusive man with a mysterious past. Together, they build a life filled with happiness and adventure in their own version of the Blue Castle.

    “There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return”. 
    “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” 
    “Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” 
    “It only seems impossible until it's done.” 
    “Fools multiply when wise men are silent.” 
    “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” 
    “If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important - and you do that by being genuine and humble.”

    As a young child Diana Wichtel lives in Vancouver, Canada. Her mother is a Catholic New Zealander, her father a Polish Jew who miraculously survived the Holocaust by jumping through the window of a train bound for the Treblinka death camp. When Diana' s thirteen, her life changes dramatically: her mother whisks her and her two siblings to New Zealand to live. Their father is to follow. She never sees him again. Many years later she sets out to discover what happened to him. The search becomes an obsession as she painstakingly uncovers information about his large Warsaw family and their fate at the hands of the Nazis, scours archives across the world for clues to her father' s disappearance, and visits the places he lived. This unforgettable narrative is also a deep reflection on the meaning of family, the trauma of loss, and the insistence of memory. It asks the question: Is it better to know, or more bearable not to?

    A year ago, Ms. Ly moved, partly because of this. I still remember that night when she cried and called me, after Hoang's wife came to make a fuss in her neighborhood, that was the first time she mentioned him to me. Ly said Hoang and his wife are divorced, the reason is just that the conflict between the couple is too deep, it is not because she intentionally interferes in other people's families. But perhaps Hoang's wife had many dissatisfactions, so that time always came to her to make a fuss, and Ly also partly moved because of that.
