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.
