paleflyer 's review for:
Anne of the Island
by L.M. Montgomery
Love, love, love! This book has so many magical little moments in it. "I have really learned to look at each little hinderance as a jest and each great one as the foreshadowing of victory." ..."We mustn't let next week rob of us this week's joys."
Things aren't always "sunbursts and marble halls" in this book. Anne takes part in chloroforming a cat, is humiliated by a baking powder company, and at times has her own streaks of cruel thoughts and/or actions towards people she doesn't see as kindred spirits. Her college life has its ups and downs of drama, and is beautifully interwoven with scenes of beloved Avonlea.
Anne is not perfect, but she is perfectly charming, and I adore this book.
