A review by vjang
Pat of Silver Bush by L.M. Montgomery

3.0

Pat does not like change. That’s what this book is all about - a girl who fiercely loves her family and her home exactly the way it is. And any speck of change results in an end of the world crisis. For myself, never having had a home for more than a few years in a row, made this a little hard to relate to. And Pat’s emotional displays got a little over the top and annoying. But the supporting characters offer a lot the the story. Judy has to be my ultimate favourite old maid servant L.M. has ever created. And Jingle is also a favourite, shame on Pat for seeing him as just a friend. Bets is a little too good, but I guess Pat needed at least one female friend.

It’s nice that for this story, Pat isn’t an orphan, isn’t particularly bright, and doesn’t want to be a writer. It offers a welcome change from Anne and Emily.
