This book was mostly a comfort read although there is some foreshadowing of tragedy yet to occur that I assume is happening in later books. I get the reviews that are frustrated by the lack of Anne but I found the stories of her kids were so similar to stories of her youth that I enjoyed them quite a bit. The last bit with her jealousy seemed to come out of nowhere and yet I realize that this is something that could likely happen to anyone. Although I didn’t love it. There are some parts of this book that haven’t aged well. Some casual racism that was of the time, not tons of this but a handful of instances spread throughout the book.
