morgangiesbrecht 's review for:

Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery
5.0

This is one of my very favourite books in the whole series and is probably the one I have read the most next to Anne of Green Gables.

I ship Anne and Gilbert so hard; they are one of my top favourite literary couples so I’m so happy with how things *finally* resolve!

Patty’s Place is so cosy…I’d love to poke around and chat with Priscilla, study with Stella, laugh with Phil, cook with Aunt Jimsie, and pet the cats.

Everything about this book is just stunning: the setting, the story, the characters.



Quotes….

“The little things of life, sweet and excellent in their place, must not be the things lived for; the highest must be sought and followed; the life of heaven must be begun here on earth.”

“‘Oh, Anne, things are so mixed-up in real life. They aren’t clear-cut and trimmed off, as they are in novels.’”
