Pat of Silver Bush by L.M. Montgomery
3.0
A girl falls in love with a house. Will the boy-man who adores her be able to win her away from Silver Bush? We'll find out in the next book, I expect.
Otherwise, this was super cozy reading, like a warm hug of a book. Dark, difficult things happen, but Pat has Silver Bush to comfort her, as well as the indefatigable Judy - who seems much more of a caregiver to her than her own parents, though she loves them.
A bit too cozy were some of the names - including a friend named Jingle, a sister named Cuddles, and a dog named Snicklefritz was over the top, in my opinion. But as always in Montgomery, there are wonderful descriptions of the PEI landscape encompassing stories of the kind of close-knit but not always harmonious community that seems all too distant nowadays.
As for comparing Pat to other heroines, her one ambition is to care for her favorite places and people, her only talent is to love ... and as that is her choice and her passion, there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, surely we could use more of that kind of passion in the world.
