4 stars and a little something more, in historical context. It's easy to see why Montgomery was proud of this one. I think she reached quite far and then pulled back a little bit, maybe due to fresh pain.
It's the only Anne book I'd never read until now. In context with the others, the focus on Rilla made me wish for more about Shirley, Nan, and Di. But it's very good standing on its own terms, in that period, after all that worry and loss and victorious optimism.

I really enjoyed this one! The entire plot of the book seems frozen - you are with Rilla at home during the war. All the events in the book are presented as second hand information. It was an odd reading experience, but I think it was very successful in portraying what life was like during the war (for those left at home overseas). It was relatable to read during this time with the events in Russia and Ukraine where you suddenly find yourself invested in countries you know very little about.

The eighth part of the Anne series, is about Anne Blythe's youngest daughter Rilla Blythe, who is 15 years old. This is also the most serious of the books from this series, because it takes place during the First World War. A nice story about how a young girl feels, when her brothers go to war.
This book is good for older children.

Hola a todos !!
Ahora mismo he acabado de leer este libro. Y así, con esta lectura, se concluye la saga que tantos corazones enternece su dulce y vivaracha protagonista. Además, con este libro he cumplido la premisa de #LibroSobreLaIGM para el #RetoEdwardianSpirit.
Parece que sin quererlo ni beberlo estoy a tope con el reto ! Suele pasarme a inicios de año, suelen coincidie mis lecturas con el reto ( pura casualidad, en serio

Well the final book in the series takes a huge leap from sunshine and rainbows to the reality of life and WW 1 and its impact on the tiny island of PEI. Addressing the lack of knowledge of outside countries, pride in own country, loss and love. I didn't like how weak Anne was depicted emotionally in this book. She always seemed so full of life and strength in the other books. This book has very sad moments and of course that impacts her strength. We switch to following the life of her youngest daughter Rilla and her perspective and growth going from spoiled self centered to mature life weary young adult. It's well written and as always in this series a lot is wrapped up in a happy bow. I laugh at what was relayed as swearing in this time frame. Or the engagement to someone she spent one afternoon getting to know. Now days parents would ban a book with such a drive for a woman to desire to be nothing more than wife. It's a sweet story with realities of life in Canada during WW1 and I recommend not skipping this one when reading the series.
