Note upon rereading: The Blue Castle is still an uplifting piece of fiction, and I found I felt closer to Valancy now I'm closer to her in age. Last time I read it, I was 19 - at 24, Valancy's frustration with the drabness of her daily life resonated with me, and I found myself cheering her on in her rebellion.
