Anne of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery

4.0

This book was mainly in the perspective of Anne and Gilbert's children, which was interesting because I could see all the little characteristics that Gilbert and Anne possess reflected in their children. But, it was also a bit sad that the book was less about Anne. I think their housekeeper/cook Susan was mentioned more than Anne in some instances (bless Susan, she's amazing and I love her). It was also sad to realize that more and more, Marilla, Diana, and Rachel Lynde fade from the books. I guess it really indicates how much things can change as Anne has her own family life to deal with. So, I guess that is the nice thing about this series so far....you get to follow Anne as she matures into an adult and see her grow over the years. The ending of this book was quite nice and brought back a lot of nostalgia from the earlier books, which was comforting.
