One of my reading goals for this year was to re-read all 8 books in the "Anne of Green Gables," series. I really enjoyed re-reading them all, especially "Rilla of Ingleside."

I did not enjoy the arc of childhood joy and discovery and wonder of AOGG to Anne’s children going off to fight and die in WWI, but at least I can say I’ve read the books now (RIP Anne with an E)

Since the last couple of books have been a bit disappointing, I wasn’t expecting too much of this one. As such, I was delighted to find that this is possibly my second-favourite of all the Anne books (following only the original). I don’t think I ever expected to read a war novel when I fell in love with Anne a decade ago, but here I finally am. I cried as I came to the end (mostly because of dear Dog Monday) and felt so much for these wonderful characters! As a Canadian woman, this felt almost personal and was an incredible insight to the home front of World War I in Canada.

The war has arrive and some of the local boy are signing up to fight. Rilla, the youngest of the Blythe children is now a young woman of 15 who is wanting the typical teenage things like parties, fun, and to flirt with boys. Instead she is worried about her brothers, her potential beau, and the impact the war is having on the people at home. I ended up shedding tears quite a bit and it was usually because of that dog. Every single time he made an appearance it just killed me. Really enjoyed learning about how involved the people left behind were in following the progress of the war.
