MARILLA OF GREEN GABLES: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 06580017C00008
English Summary/英文概要： A bold, heartfelt tale of life at Green Gables . . . before Anne: A marvelously entertaining and moving historical novel, set in rural Prince Edward Island in the nineteenth century, that imagines the young life of spinster Marilla Cuthbert, and the choices that will open her life to the possibility of heartbreak—and unimaginable greatness.
Plucky and ambitious, Marilla Cuthbert is thirteen years old when her world is turned upside down. Her beloved mother dies in childbirth, and Marilla suddenly must bear the responsibilities of a farm wife: cooking, sewing, keeping house, and overseeing the day-to-day life of Green Gables with her brother, Matthew and father, Hugh.
In Avonlea—a small, tight-knit farming town on a remote island—life holds few options for farm girls.
Her one connection to the wider world is Aunt Elizabeth "Izzy" Johnson, her mother’s sister, who managed to escape from Avonlea to the bustling city of St. Catharines. An opinionated spinster, Aunt Izzy’s talent as a seamstress has allowed her to build a thriving business and make her own way in the world.
Emboldened by her aunt, Marilla dares to venture beyond the safety of Green Gables and discovers new friends and new opportunities.
Joining the Ladies Aid Society, she raises funds for an orphanage run by the Sisters of Charity in nearby Nova Scotia that secretly serves as a way station for runaway slaves from America. Her budding romance with John Blythe, the charming son of a neighbor, offers her a possibility of future happiness—Marilla is in no rush to trade one farm life for another. She soon finds herself caught up in the dangerous work of politics, and abolition—jeopardizing all she cherishes, including her bond with her dearest John Blythe. Now Marilla must face a reckoning between her dreams of making a difference in the wider world and the small-town reality of life at Green Gables.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个大胆的，发自内心的关于绿色庄园里的生活故事…在安妮之前:一部引人入胜、感人肺腑的历史小说，故事发生在19世纪的爱德华王子岛上。小说虚构了老处女玛丽拉•卡斯伯特的年轻时代生活，以及将她的生活引向心碎和难以想象的伟大的可能性的选择。

在阿文利亚——一个偏远海岛上的紧密团结的小农场小镇——生活中几乎没有农家女孩的选择。
她与更广阔的世界的唯一联系是她母亲的妹妹伊丽莎白•“伊兹”•约翰逊，她成功地从阿文利逃到熙熙攘攘的圣凯瑟琳城市。伊兹阿姨是个固执己见的老处女，她的裁缝才能让她在这个世界上建立起了自己的事业。
在她的阿姨的鼓励下，玛丽拉敢于冒险超越绿色庄园的安全，发现新的朋友和新的机会。
