A very beautiful way to end the series this book was. This book is the most sad out of all of them since World War One occurs but it shows how strong the Blythes truly are. The main character is the youngest of Anne’s children Rilla and she is very loveable we get to see her truly grow through out the duration of the novel. And that last line was truly heartfelt

Definitely more sad and emotional than any other book in the series, but I see that as a way the series has matured and changed alongside Anne. I had been disappointed by the lack of Anne in Rainbow Valley, so it was nice to see her a little more in this book, even if it wasn’t the same spunky, joyful, dreaming Anne of yesterday. I still feel so connected with Anne that I think it makes me love her children even more. I grew to love them very quickly in this book, especially young Rilla and Walter.

It was very interesting to hear about the events of the war outside of history books, through the lives of the women who stayed at home as their men went off to fight. How the world changed. How hopeful they were about the world when it was over, knowing what I know now about what was to come just a couple decades later. They felt like real people to me, and my heart aches with theirs.

The most beautiful, hopeful book about the families—and particularly women—left behind during WW1. Can be read as a stand alone or, better yet, in tandem with the Anne series

Wow! This book will break your heart and put it back together again. I was so happy to fall back into a book that felt like an "Anne" book, even if it was Rilla at the heart of it. Concluding the series during World War I is such an incredible way to close out a series based on growth. Montgomery is masterful with her characters as usual and it was a joy to watch them learn, mourn, grow, and hold joy together. This was an incredible conclusion to a series that I, for the most part, loved, and I will be thrilled to dive back into its pages again some time in the future.
