I absolutely loved this part of the series, and honestly, much more than the first one! Instead of a talkative, annoying troublemaker, we now spend time with a young, almost-adult lady who continuously sees beauty in the world around her.
Anne Shirley is now 17 years old and begins a new chapter in her life as a teacher at the Avonlea school. She and Marilla adopt twins, who bring new challenges and joy to their lives. Anne meets new neighbors, encounters new adventures, and discovers more kindred spirits along the way.
Some chapters were so beautifully written that I had to read them twice. The legend of a secret garden told in the blooming woods during the Golden Picnic and the story of an old maid, Miss Lavendar, who finds love thanks to Anne, are my favorite parts of this book. When Anne is around, everything seems to bloom.
"Anne of Avonlea" was perfect for me during busy weeks when I needed something relaxing, calm, and beautiful to read before sleeping. This book is so charming and magical that I believe no one can remain indifferent to Anne after reading this part.
I am looking forward to reading "Anne of the Island," where Anne goes to college with Gilbert Blythe. I suspect it is going to be one of the most beautiful love stories ever created!
