Rilla of Ingleside
by L.M. Montgomery
This is the final full-length novel following the story of Anne (of Green Gables fame) and latterly, her children. I have followed a pattern with the Green Gables series in which I swear that the next book can never live up to the former, the next book must surely be the start of the decline in which the author starts writing flimsy cash-ins. Why would I want to read about grown-up Anne? Why would I want to read about Anne’s boring children? Etc etc. And then each book totally and completely steals my heart. I mean, in how many series is Book 8 not only of the same quality as the original, but also, in adding new layers to beloved characters, possibly the most moving and thoughtful of all?
"I wonder," said Miss Oliver, "if humanity will be any happier because of aeroplanes. It seems to me that the sum of human happiness remains much the same from age to age, no matter how it may vary in distribution.”
