Valancy Stirling is twenty-nine, unmarried and bullied by a clan of relatives, and a doctor's letter tells her she has a year to live — so she says what she thinks, moves out, and proposes to the most disreputable man in the county. Montgomery wrote one of her only two novels for adults in 1926 and set it in Ontario rather than the island. The diagnosis is not the twist; what Valancy does with it is.
