i_might_be_fine's review against another edition
5.0
This one might be my favourite after the first one. It's very different from the rest.
We follow Rilla (Marilla <3) as a teenager. She's the baby, she's vain and she's lonely because everyone around her is so much older. WW1 hits. Her siblings and friends go off to war. Her small town and her country are tense. Finances change, her family is sad and she has to grow up, either she wants it or not. She becomes involved in the community and takes care of a young child she comes upon.
This book had emotion, had community, paranoia, growing up, sweetness, love, and it showed what the women were doing at home during the war, where most young men and boys were sent into the trenches.
It was great, i loved it and i felt very done with the series before this one.

There are some really great characters in this story, though their brilliance is rather lost by one character being mentioned more than the others - Susan. This book might as well be called Susan of Ingleside. I learned lots about WW1 and there is Montgomery's usual optimism/pessimism dialogues and cheeky humour.

Had to give the book back to my mom. I'll likely just purchase this and the next one sometime and read them then. I don't recall what was going on anyway and would need to restart.

I held it together until the end when Little Dog Monday got his wish. Then the floodgates opened and I cried through my lunch.
