Pat of Silver Bush by L.M. Montgomery

1.0

I almost feel bad giving this book such a low score. Almost. There's no doubt in my mind that I don't like it. I didn't like Pat, her family, or the story. But, at the same time, I know where L.M Montgomery is coming from.
L.M. Montgomery is my favorite author of all time, bar none. Every book that I've read by her (with the exception of this one and Anne of the Island, I never really got into the Anne series as a whole) is one my list of favorite books of all time. So I was disappointed when I got this book for Christmas and did not like it. I was so upset by how much I didn't like it.
After doing a little research on L.M. while reading The Blue Castle (great book), I found out that she extremely depressed in her later life. This was one of he last books and I can only assume that she was thinking like Pat and created this character out of that. Montgomery wanted nothing to change, and so much did. It made me realize where she was coming from when she wrote this book. I still didn't like it, but I understood it now. So, this is definitely not the worst book I've read, but I still can't give it a very high rating.
