"Non trovi che il mondo sarebbe parecchio noioso se tutti fossero saggi e razionali... e bravi? Di che cosa parleremmo?"

"Da quando anche il mio amore è fiorito, quelli degli altri mi interessano sempre di più. È un interesse sincero il mio, bada bene, non è né curiosità né malizia, semplicemente sono contenta di sapere che in giro c'è tanta felicità."

"[...] ma niente per cui valga la pena impegnarsi è facile a questo mondo [...]"

"[...] c'è davvero tanta gente che non fa altro che augurarsi il peggio, e non si gode l'oggi per paura di quello che riserverà il domani.
Caro Gilbert, non facciamoci mai impaurire dagli eventi, è una schiavitù terribile. Cerchiamo di essere sempre audaci, avventurosi e fiduciosi. Danziamo incontro alla vita e a tutto quello che potrà portarci, anche se fosse una serie infinita di problemi [...]"

I’m continually in awe of LM Montgomery’s ability to create captivating, lovely stories for Anne as she matures from a little girl in braids to a woman almost my own age in this book. With each book, I expect to be let down in some way - as often happens in a series - but it’s the opposite. Anne has such a strong character that never wavers, only blooms with more relatable, endearing facets as she ages. In this book, I particularly enjoyed the aunts as well. I look forward to continuing this series, but going slowly, of course, to prolong running out of new stories to enjoy!

I feel bad rating this book so low when I've really enjoyed the rest of the series. I think this book just seemed a bit of a filler, and didn't actually add much to the story of Anne Shirley. While I still enjoyed some parts, and will continue reading the rest of the series, I think the first 3 books are definitely better

This was released as Anne of Windy Willows in Australia
